# Drops vs OkyDoky

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.

Both are free to download. Drops sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and OkyDoky sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 OkyDoky. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 627, 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 60% of OkyDoky's.

Drops ships an update every 10 days, OkyDoky every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
