# Growtopia vs Coin Drop!

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Growtopia at 11K against Coin Drop!'s 34. Growtopia also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). Coin Drop!'s advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 32%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Growtopia sells 23 one-off in-app purchases and Coin Drop! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.8 for Growtopia against 3.7 for Coin Drop!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Growtopia has 11K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 32% of Growtopia's written reviews are positive against 48% of Coin Drop!'s.

Growtopia ships an update fortnightly, Coin Drop! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
