Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Drops at Free against LP Icelandic's $3.99. Drops also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 58). LP Icelandic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.
