Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Easy Arabic at none against Drops's shown. Drops's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 7) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Drops sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Easy Arabic sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Drops holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 67% of Easy Arabic's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Drops ships an update every 8 days, Easy Arabic every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
