# The Spearman vs T

The clearest difference is ads: T at none against The Spearman's shown. T also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 17 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). The Spearman's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Spearman sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and T sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

T holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Spearman has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of The Spearman's written reviews are positive against 100% of T's.

The Spearman ships an update every 17 months, T every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
