# Spin The Wheel vs Picks

The clearest difference is ads: Picks at none against Spin The Wheel's shown. Picks also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Spin The Wheel's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (95K vs 30). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spin The Wheel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Picks sells 4 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 — 4.9 for Spin The Wheel against 4.8 for Picks. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spin The Wheel has 95K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of Spin The Wheel's written reviews are positive against 90% of Picks's.

Spin The Wheel ships an update every 3 days, Picks every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 3, 2026 respectively.
