Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Spry+ at none against GLVCSN's shown. Spry+ also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). GLVCSN's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases 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.
Spry+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spry+ has 1.5K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of GLVCSN's written reviews are positive against 47% of Spry+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GLVCSN ships an update every 5 months, Spry+ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
