# Spill vs Recess Forum

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Recess Forum at 100% against Spill's 65%. Recess Forum also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Spill's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 4) and chart position (#206 vs unranked). 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.

Recess Forum holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spill has 1.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Spill's written reviews are positive against 100% of Recess Forum's.
