# Dotsu vs Coin Drop!

The clearest difference is rating: Dotsu at 4.6 against Coin Drop!'s 3.7. Dotsu also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dotsu sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Coin Drop! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dotsu holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dotsu has 343 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Dotsu's written reviews are positive against 48% of Coin Drop!'s.

Dotsu ships an update fortnightly, Coin Drop! every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
