Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Spin at none against Rolly Vortex's shown. Spin also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (81% vs 53%). Rolly Vortex's advantage is ratings volume (305K vs 871). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
