# Quick Share vs QuickDrop

The clearest difference is review sentiment: QuickDrop at 69% against Quick Share's 7%. QuickDrop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Quick Share's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 119) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quick Share sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year and QuickDrop sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QuickDrop holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Share has 2.6K ratings behind it against 119, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 7% of Quick Share's written reviews are positive against 69% of QuickDrop's.

Quick Share ships an update every 3 weeks, QuickDrop every 11 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
