# Spike Sprint vs Trap Master

Spike Sprint and Trap Master both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Spike Sprint's written reviews are positive against 51% of Trap Master's. Spike Sprint also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 25) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Trap Master's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (48K vs 60). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trap Master sells 25 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Spike Sprint asks for nothing beyond the download.

Trap Master holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trap Master has 48K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Spike Sprint's written reviews are positive against 51% of Trap Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spike Sprint ships an update every 5 months, Trap Master every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
