Looking for the comparison table? The short drama apps comparison is on our home page.
Short Drama Apps is an independent guide, run by a small editorial team. It is not an official site, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by ReelShort, DramaBox or any other short drama app.
Why we built it
Short drama apps advertise free episodes everywhere, then bill by coins or weekly plans that are hard to compare. App store reviews are full of people surprised by a charge or unsure how to cancel. We wanted one place that shows, for each app, what the store listing actually says about prices and plans, how many episodes you can watch before paying, and how to stop a subscription.
Who runs it
Short Drama Apps is run by the Short Drama Apps editorial team.
- ShortDramaApps.org Editors, editorial team. The small team behind Short Drama Apps. We read each app store listing and official help center, write down the date we checked every price, and say plainly when a number comes from our own test instead.
How we check what we publish
- Prices, plans, ratings and languages come from each app's US App Store and Google Play listing and its official help pages. The store data on the site was last checked on November 10, 2026, and every page shows its own check date.
- When a listing does not state something, such as a fixed number of free episodes or the coin price of one episode, we say so instead of estimating it.
- Results from our own testing in the apps are labelled with who tested and when.
- First drafts are written with AI assistance from our fact sheet. The team checks every fact against its source and signs the page off before it goes live.
The full process is on our research and writing page.
Free episodes on this site
The episodes you can watch on our watch page are the free episodes the apps release to their promotion partners. We do not host or link to full pirated series. When the free episodes end, the Continue button takes you to the app, where the rest of the series is paid.
How we make money
Some Get the app and Continue buttons are affiliate links: if you install an app through them and later pay in it, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate deals never change what the comparison table shows. Details are on our affiliate disclosure page.
