# Hebrew by Nemo vs Drops

The clearest difference is ads: Hebrew by Nemo at none against Drops's shown. Hebrew by Nemo also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). Drops's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#171 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hebrew by Nemo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Hebrew by Nemo against 4.7 for Drops. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Hebrew by Nemo's written reviews are positive against 75% of Drops's.

Hebrew by Nemo ships an update every 2 months, Drops weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
