Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bead Tower at 4.7 against Fidget Spin's 4.1. Bead Tower also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 172). Fidget Spin's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (36% vs 11%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Fidget Spin sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bead Tower sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bead Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bead Tower has 1.4K ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Fidget Spin's written reviews are positive against 11% of Bead Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fidget Spin ships an update weekly, Bead Tower every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on August 22, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
