# Differences vs Spot Differences

Differences and Spot Differences both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of Differences's written reviews are positive against 12% of Spot Differences's. Differences also leads on ratings volume (600K vs 1.8K). Spot Differences's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Differences sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Spot Differences sells 5 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 — 4.6 for Differences against 4.6 for Spot Differences. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Differences has 600K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Differences's written reviews are positive against 12% of Spot Differences's.

Differences ships an update every 3 weeks, Spot Differences every 9 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
