Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dropstr at 5.0 against FrontApp's 3.3. Dropstr also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). FrontApp's advantage is ratings volume (208 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
