# KineMaster vs Spring

The clearest difference is ratings volume: KineMaster at 43K against Spring's 1.1K. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KineMaster sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month and Spring sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for KineMaster against 4.7 for Spring. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KineMaster has 43K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of KineMaster's written reviews are positive against 74% of Spring's.

KineMaster ships an update every 9 days, Spring every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
