Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Thing’s activity App at none against PlayDrop's 5. The Thing’s activity App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). PlayDrop's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
