# Drops vs Mopiq

The clearest difference is ads: Mopiq at none against Drops's shown. Drops's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 1.4K) and chart position (#154 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Mopiq sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 4.7 for Mopiq. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 1.4K, 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 69% of Mopiq's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
