# Fidget Spinner vs Spinner.io

The clearest difference is update cadence: Spinner.io at every 3 weeks against Fidget Spinner's every 10 months. Spinner.io also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (227K vs 4.8K). Fidget Spinner's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 49%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fidget Spinner sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Spinner.io sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spinner.io holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spinner.io has 227K ratings behind it against 4.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Fidget Spinner's written reviews are positive against 49% of Spinner.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fidget Spinner ships an update every 10 months, Spinner.io every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
