# Drops vs Speekoo

The clearest difference is ads: Speekoo at none against Drops's shown. Speekoo also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.6). Drops's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 614) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Speekoo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.49 per month. 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 4.8 for Speekoo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 614, 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 86% of Speekoo's.

Drops ships an update weekly, Speekoo monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
