# Spinner.io vs Bumper Cats

Spinner.io and Bumper Cats both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Bumper Cats's written reviews are positive against 49% of Spinner.io's. Bumper Cats also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Spinner.io's advantage is ratings volume (227K vs 888) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spinner.io sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Bumper Cats sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Spinner.io against 4.7 for Bumper Cats. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spinner.io has 227K ratings behind it against 888, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Spinner.io's written reviews are positive against 87% of Bumper Cats's.
