# Drops vs Fully Fluent

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Drops at 72K against Fully Fluent's 479. Drops also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#128 vs unranked). Fully Fluent's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Fully Fluent sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. 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 Fully Fluent. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 479, 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 89% of Fully Fluent's.

Drops ships an update every 8 days, Fully Fluent every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
