Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SPIRIT+ at 4.3 against NuStep's 2.3. SPIRIT+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 49 months). NuStep's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (21% vs 5%). On price 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. SPIRIT+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. NuStep asks for nothing beyond the download.
SPIRIT+ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SPIRIT+ has 331 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of NuStep's written reviews are positive against 5% of SPIRIT+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NuStep ships an update every 49 months, SPIRIT+ every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
