Both are free to download. Spank Runner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Spanky Balls asks for nothing beyond the download.
Spank Runner holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spank Runner has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Spanky Balls's written reviews are positive against 50% of Spank Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spanky Balls ships an update every 5 weeks, Spank Runner every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
