# Playground Mod vs Droid Playground

The clearest difference is rating: Droid Playground at 4.6 against Playground Mod's 4.0. Droid Playground also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Playground Mod sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Droid Playground sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Droid Playground holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Droid Playground has 31K ratings behind it against 4.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Playground Mod's written reviews are positive against 52% of Droid Playground's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Playground Mod ships an update every 2 months, Droid Playground every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
