Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Playlist Maker for Spotify at none against Recs.ai's 2. Playlist Maker for Spotify also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 24%).

Both are free to download. Recs.ai sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Playlist Maker for Spotify asks for nothing beyond the download.
Recs.ai holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recs.ai has 2.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Playlist Maker for Spotify's written reviews are positive against 24% of Recs.ai's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Playlist Maker for Spotify ships an update every 2 months, Recs.ai every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
