# Dropset vs Protein Simple

The clearest difference is rating: Protein Simple at 5.0 against Dropset's 4.4. Protein Simple also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Dropset's advantage is ratings volume (96 vs 7) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dropset sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Protein Simple sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Protein Simple holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dropset has 96 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Dropset's written reviews are positive against 100% of Protein Simple's.
