# Drops vs Genii Games

The clearest difference is ads: Genii Games at none against Drops's shown. Genii Games also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Drops's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 27). On price, review sentiment, 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 Genii Games sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 78% of Genii Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Drops ships an update every 8 days, Genii Games every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
