Ghost Radar® is the original application designed to detect paranormal activity. Ghost Radar® attempts to detect paranormal activity by making various readings on the device. Traditional paranormal equipment can be easily fooled when simple mundane bursts of normal energy occur. Ghost Radar® sets itself apart by analyzing the readings and giving indications only when interesting patterns in the readings have been made. Please note we offer no guarantees of accuracy or any warranties, therefore, since results from this application cannot be verified scientifically the app should be used for entertainment purposes.
Spook
This entertainment app uses lifestyle quizzes to estimate when and how you might die. The results are intended for amusement and to encourage reflection on personal habits for a potentially longer life.
- Lifestyle quizzes
- Death prediction
- Entertainment purposes
- Habit reflection

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Spook at 4.3 against Ghost Radar®'s 3.6. Spook also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Ghost Radar®'s advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 73) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
