Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Spaces at 3.4 against Brella.io's 2.7. Spaces also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (118 vs 15). Brella.io's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (27% vs 7%). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Spaces holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spaces has 118 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Brella.io's written reviews are positive against 7% of Spaces's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brella.io ships an update every 5 weeks, Spaces fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
