Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Learn French at none against Drops's shown. Learn French also leads on review sentiment (96% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Drops's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 14). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Learn French sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Drops against 4.7 for Learn French. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 96% of Learn French's.
Drops ships an update weekly, Learn French every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
