Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Spill at 4.6 against Virtual Traffic Stop's 3.0. Spill also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 2). Virtual Traffic Stop's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Spill holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spill has 1.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Spill's written reviews are positive against 100% of Virtual Traffic Stop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spill ships an update every 9 days, Virtual Traffic Stop every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
