# Spiraloid vs Agent Grapple

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Agent Grapple at none against Spiraloid's 1. Agent Grapple also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 36) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Spiraloid's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (81% vs 66%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spiraloid sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Agent Grapple asks for nothing beyond the download.

Agent Grapple holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Agent Grapple has 13K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Spiraloid's written reviews are positive against 66% of Agent Grapple's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spiraloid ships an update fortnightly, Agent Grapple every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
