Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Spin at none against TENKYU's shown. Spin also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 59%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). TENKYU's advantage is ratings volume (255K vs 871). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spin sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and TENKYU sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Spin against 4.6 for TENKYU. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TENKYU has 255K ratings behind it against 871, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Spin's written reviews are positive against 59% of TENKYU's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spin ships an update fortnightly, TENKYU monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
