Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CoastApp at 100% against DropTicket's 37%. CoastApp also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). DropTicket's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
