# Spell It vs Spelliful

The clearest difference is rating: Spelliful at 5.0 against Spell It's 4.5. Spell It's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 8). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spell It sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Spelliful sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spelliful holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spell It has 3.9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Spell It's written reviews are positive against 67% of Spelliful's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
