# Echelon Fit vs Simple Spin

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Spin at 100% against Echelon Fit's 36%. Simple Spin also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). Echelon Fit's advantage is ratings volume (8.4K vs 5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Echelon Fit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Simple Spin sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Echelon Fit has 8.4K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Echelon Fit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simple Spin's.
