# Ghost Radar® vs Spook

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.

Both are free to download. Ghost Radar® sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Spook sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spook holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ghost Radar® has 2.4K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 60% and 60% positive.

Ghost Radar® ships an update every 3 months, Spook every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
