User Role Editor has the larger user base (288 reviews vs 1), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Drafts Dropdown's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
