Both are free to download. Fidget Spin sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Alphabetris sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fidget Spin holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 172 and 73 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Fidget Spin's written reviews are positive against 50% of Alphabetris's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fidget Spin ships an update weekly, Alphabetris every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 22, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
