Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Drone at 76% against Drone Modern War's 50%. Drone also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 65). Drone Modern War's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Drone sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Drone Modern War sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Drone Modern War holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drone has 1.2K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Drone's written reviews are positive against 50% of Drone Modern War's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Drone ships an update every 3 months, Drone Modern War every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
