As a complete beginner, Drops is pretty good for learning random words and increasing vocabulary. As you advance through it you start seeing sentences too, but it doesn't teach you how to make your own sentences, only to memorize the ones they pre-created.
Rosetta Stone doesn't translate anything. All of the content is in the language you want to learn and it tries to introduce you to things in a natural way. For example it shows a picture of someone biting an apple and says "the man eats an apple", then later shows other pictures related to one or multiple men, fruits and verbs, so you can get used to the differences between things just by observing those.
