Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: sp0t at none against ARknet's 1. sp0t also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (92% vs 83%). ARknet's advantage is ratings volume (316 vs 24) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
