# Spot The Differences 2 vs Differences

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spot The Differences 2 at 86% against Differences's 50%. Spot The Differences 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Differences's advantage is ratings volume (601K vs 72) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spot The Differences 2 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Differences sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Differences has 601K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Spot The Differences 2's written reviews are positive against 50% of Differences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spot The Differences 2 ships an update every 8 days, Differences every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
