# Drops vs Natulang

The clearest difference is ads: Natulang at none against Drops's shown. Natulang also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 75%). Drops's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 411) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence 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 Natulang sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 4.8 for Natulang. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 411, 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 90% of Natulang's.

Drops ships an update weekly, Natulang every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
