# TeamSnap vs Spond

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spond at none against TeamSnap's 7. Spond also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (61% vs 28%). TeamSnap's advantage is ratings volume (60K vs 3.6K) and chart position (#20 vs #95). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TeamSnap sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Spond asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for TeamSnap against 4.9 for Spond. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TeamSnap has 60K ratings behind it against 3.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 28% of TeamSnap's written reviews are positive against 61% of Spond's.
