# Drops vs Connect

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Connect at none against Drops's 10. Connect also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Drops's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drops sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Connect asks for nothing beyond the download.

Connect holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drops has 72K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Drops's written reviews are positive against 100% of Connect's.

Drops ships an update every 8 days, Connect every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
