Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Dropset at free with in-app purchases against Spotr's subscription. Dropset also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 60%). Spotr's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Dropset sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Spotr sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spotr holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spotr has 626 ratings behind it against 96, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Dropset's written reviews are positive against 60% of Spotr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dropset ships an update every 4 days, Spotr every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
