Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Spin at none against Scale's shown. Spin also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). Scale's advantage is ratings volume (50K vs 871). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spin sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Scale sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scale holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scale has 50K ratings behind it against 871, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Spin's written reviews are positive against 55% of Scale's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spin ships an update fortnightly, Scale weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
