# Spring for Twitter vs Mithka

The clearest difference is rating: Mithka at 5.0 against Spring for Twitter's 4.3. Mithka also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Spring for Twitter's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and ratings volume (125 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Mithka holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spring for Twitter has 125 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Spring for Twitter's written reviews are positive against 33% of Mithka's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spring for Twitter ships an update every 3 weeks, Mithka every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
