# Spot 5 Differences vs Differences

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spot 5 Differences at 77% against Differences's 63%. Spot 5 Differences also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Differences's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spot 5 Differences sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Differences sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Differences has 337K ratings behind it against 52K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Spot 5 Differences's written reviews are positive against 63% of Differences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
