AniDrop
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your watch list has been lying to you. AniDrop fixes that. Miss a week of releases? Juggling five seasonals at once? AniDrop tracks every episode individually โ so you always know exactly where you left off, what aired while you were gone, and what's dropping next. โ TRACK SMARTER โ PER-EPISODE TRACKING Every broadcast slot is logged separately. Skip a week and AniDrop quietly remembers what you owe โ no manual fixing, no "wait, did I watch that one?" CATCH-UP QUEUE One dedicated queue, oldest unwatched episode first. Mark it done, the next one slides in. Getting through a backlog has never felt this satisfying. LOCK-SCREEN & HOME-SCREEN WIDGETS Six variants โ from a compact inline countdown to a full episode queue right on your home screen. Within two hours of an episode airing, the lock-screen widget starts counting down silently. Your phone becomes an anime dashboard. LOCAL NOTIFICATIONS Get pinged the moment a new episode drops, in your timezone. No app refresh needed. CUSTOM LISTS Watching, completed, dropped โ fine, but you probably need more than that. Build whatever lists make sense for how you watch. MYANIMELIST IMPORT Already tracking on MyAnimeList? Pull everything over in one tap and pick up right where you left off. PROFILE & STATS Total episodes, favourite genres, average rating, watch history โ all visualised. Finally, something to show for all those hours. โ PRIVACY, FOR REAL โ No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Your data lives on EU servers and you can delete it whenever you want. Built by one developer who actually watches anime. --------------------------------------------- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://suprise7.github.io/anidrop-legal/ AniDrop Pro is an auto-renewable subscription.

Rochi
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your favorite anime might be 40% filler. That means hundreds of episodes that were never in the manga and are safe to skip. Rochi fixes that. Every episode is labeled canon, mixed, or filler. Pick your watch mode and Rochi always shows you exactly what to watch next. No more Googling filler lists. No more accidentally watching 20 episodes of nothing. TRACK YOUR WAY Open the tracker and see your progress as a color-coded grid. Each show gets its own colors pulled from its cover art. Mark episodes with a single tap. Add shows to your watchlist before you start watching. Pick them up when you're ready. Archive shows when you're done. YOUR ANIME COMMUNITY Rochi is built for talking about anime with people who actually get it. Rate shows on a 5-star scale. Write reviews with built-in spoiler tagging so readers choose whether to see spoilers or filter them out. Every episode has its own discussion thread. Talk about what just happened without ruining it for people who are still catching up. Follow other fans, build your feed, and see what the community thinks before you commit to a 500-episode journey. TASTE MATCH Rochi scores how closely your taste aligns with every other user based on your ratings, favorites, and completed shows. Before you trust a review, see if the person who wrote it actually watches like you do. Follow the people whose taste matches yours and your feed fills with opinions that are relevant to you. YOUR ANIME IDENTITY Set your Four Favorites: the four anime that define you. Share them with friends like a calling card. Your profile lives at rochi.io/yourname and includes your taste signature, stats, watch history, rankings, and reviews. Send it to friends, drop it in your bio, share it anywhere. RANKINGS AND TIER LISTS Create ranked lists and tier lists. Share them as images sized for TikTok, Instagram, and group chats. Remix other people's rankings with your own takes. Argue about who's right. That's the point. EPISODE DISCUSSIONS Every episode of every show has its own comment thread. Spoiler tags on every post so the conversation stays safe no matter where you are in the series. Sort by newest, oldest, or most liked. This is where the real conversations happen. 2,000+ SHOWS AND GROWING Over 2,000 anime in the catalogue with new shows added automatically every week. 330+ shows have full episode-by-episode filler data with more being added constantly. Browse by genre, decade, or popularity. Search anything. PRIVACY AND TRUST No ads. No data selling. Sign in with Apple or Google. Dark mode and light mode. Delete your account anytime from Settings. Your data is yours. Whether you're finally tackling a 1,000-episode epic, rewatching a classic, or keeping up with what's airing this season, Rochi tells you what to watch next, helps you skip what doesn't matter, and connects you with fans who share your taste.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rochi at none against AniDrop's 3. Rochi also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
