Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Get Allocated at free against OnlyDrams's free with in-app purchases. Get Allocated also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). OnlyDrams's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 7) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. OnlyDrams sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Get Allocated sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
OnlyDrams holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OnlyDrams has 11K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
OnlyDrams ships an update fortnightly, Get Allocated every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
