Question which are more accurate test strips or liquid dropper type tests?

I have a hang on the inside of the tank with a suction cup type of ammonia meter that is reading caution. I did however change 20L of water today, after which I tested the water with the liquid drops. The reading from the liquid drops said no ammonia. My hang on the tank strip still says caution. Which test is more accurate?

test strips suck, and the ones you are using really suck. liquid test kits are the way to go.
