# Spill vs HubHive

Spill and HubHive both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of HubHive's written reviews are positive against 65% of Spill's. HubHive also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Spill's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 15). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
