# RepCount vs Dropset

The clearest difference is rating: RepCount at 4.9 against Dropset's 4.4. RepCount also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 96) and review sentiment (93% vs 78%). Dropset's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RepCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Dropset sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RepCount holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RepCount has 13K ratings behind it against 96, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of RepCount's written reviews are positive against 78% of Dropset's.

RepCount ships an update every 2 weeks, Dropset every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
