# Drops vs LingoPix

Drops and LingoPix both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 38% of LingoPix's. Drops also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 79). LingoPix's advantage is ads (none vs shown). 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 LingoPix sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 4.6 for LingoPix. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 79, 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 38% of LingoPix's.

Drops ships an update weekly, LingoPix every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
