# Springin' vs Globe

The clearest difference is rating: Globe at 5.0 against Springin''s 4.4. Globe also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Springin''s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (69% vs 52%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Springin' sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Globe asks for nothing beyond the download.

Globe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Springin' has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Springin''s written reviews are positive against 52% of Globe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Springin' ships an update every 2 weeks, Globe every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
