Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Spill at 4.6 against Sniff.'s 3.2. Spill also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 42%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). Sniff.'s advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
