# APPICS vs Spill

The clearest difference is rating: Spill at 4.6 against APPICS's 4.0. Spill also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). APPICS's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. APPICS sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Spill asks for nothing beyond the download.

Spill holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spill has 1.6K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of APPICS's written reviews are positive against 65% of Spill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

APPICS ships an update every 3 weeks, Spill every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
