# Gridiron Trivia vs PlayPinDrop

The clearest difference is ads: PlayPinDrop at none against Gridiron Trivia's shown. PlayPinDrop also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Gridiron Trivia's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (844 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gridiron Trivia sells 28 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and PlayPinDrop sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gridiron Trivia holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gridiron Trivia has 844 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Gridiron Trivia's written reviews are positive against 75% of PlayPinDrop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gridiron Trivia ships an update weekly, PlayPinDrop every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
