# DramaS vs iDramas

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DramaS at 67% against iDramas's 9%. DramaS also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.8) and ratings volume (747 vs 41). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DramaS sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 7 days and iDramas sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DramaS holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DramaS has 747 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of DramaS's written reviews are positive against 9% of iDramas's.

DramaS ships an update every 2 weeks, iDramas every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
