Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Deel at 51% against Spaces's 7%. Deel also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 118). Spaces's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Deel holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deel has 3.1K ratings behind it against 118, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 7% of Spaces's written reviews are positive against 51% of Deel's.
Spaces ships an update fortnightly, Deel weekly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
