# Fraksl vs Spiralize

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spiralize at none against Fraksl's 15. Spiralize also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Fraksl's advantage is ratings volume (614 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fraksl sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Spiralize asks for nothing beyond the download.

Spiralize holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fraksl has 614 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Fraksl ships an update every 12 months, Spiralize fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
