# Hole Drop Puzzle vs Plop Cat!

The clearest difference is rating: Hole Drop Puzzle at 4.3 against Plop Cat!'s 2.8. Hole Drop Puzzle also leads on ratings volume (518 vs 85) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Plop Cat!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (14% vs 5%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hole Drop Puzzle sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Plop Cat! sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hole Drop Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hole Drop Puzzle has 518 ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of Hole Drop Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 14% of Plop Cat!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hole Drop Puzzle ships an update every 8 days, Plop Cat! every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
