Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Spotbee sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pinn sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pinn holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pinn has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Spotbee ships an update fortnightly, Pinn every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
