# Drops vs AITalk

The clearest difference is rating: Drops at 4.7 against AITalk's 3.7. Drops also leads on ratings volume (72K vs 3) and chart position (#160 vs unranked). AITalk's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drops sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and AITalk sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Drops holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 100% of AITalk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Drops ships an update weekly, AITalk every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 6, 2026 respectively.
