# Drip vs Plug

The clearest difference is rating: Drip at 4.6 against Plug's 3.9. Drip also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Plug's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 54%) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Drip holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 297 and 104 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Drip's written reviews are positive against 92% of Plug's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Drip ships an update every 4 days, Plug daily. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
