Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SPIN Safe Browser at 4.4 against Skitter's 3.7. SPIN Safe Browser also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 7) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Skitter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (67% vs 53%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SPIN Safe Browser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Skitter asks for nothing beyond the download.
SPIN Safe Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SPIN Safe Browser has 2.7K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of SPIN Safe Browser's written reviews are positive against 67% of Skitter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SPIN Safe Browser ships an update every 6 weeks, Skitter every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
