# Drops vs 中国語の王様

The clearest difference is rating: Drops at 4.7 against 中国語の王様's 4.0. Drops also leads on ratings volume (72K vs 4) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). 中国語の王様's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6).

Both are free to download. Drops sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and 中国語の王様 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
