Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Learn Maori at none against Drops's 13. Learn Maori also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Drops's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 27 months) and chart position (#169 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
