Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Desktop at 5.0 against Dropmark's 4.4. Desktop also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Dropmark's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
