# Spinner+ vs Bucket List Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Spinner+ at 5.0 against Bucket List Maker's 4.5. Spinner+ also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Bucket List Maker's advantage is ratings volume (248 vs 1) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spinner+ sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Bucket List Maker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spinner+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bucket List Maker has 248 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Spinner+'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Bucket List Maker's.

Spinner+ ships an update every 6 weeks, Bucket List Maker every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
