Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Roughtake at 4.9 against Spready's 1.3. Roughtake also leads on ratings volume (101 vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.4 vs 16.4). Spready's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Roughtake holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roughtake has 101 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Roughtake's written reviews are positive against 100% of Spready's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Roughtake ships an update every 2 weeks, Spready fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
