# SpinVid vs OnBeat

SpinVid and OnBeat both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 74% of SpinVid's written reviews are positive against 30% of OnBeat's. SpinVid also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). OnBeat's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 76). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpinVid sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and OnBeat sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for SpinVid against 4.7 for OnBeat. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OnBeat has 2.4K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of SpinVid's written reviews are positive against 30% of OnBeat's.

SpinVid ships an update every 3 weeks, OnBeat fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
