Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: OkyDoky at none against Drops's shown. OkyDoky also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.6). Drops's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 627) and review sentiment (75% vs 60%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
