Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: EV3 at none against Project DRAG's shown. EV3 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 82). Project DRAG's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EV3 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Project DRAG sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EV3 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EV3 has 1.9K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of EV3's written reviews are positive against 79% of Project DRAG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EV3 ships an update every 3 weeks, Project DRAG every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
