# Group SMS+ vs SPIN Motion

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SPIN Motion at none against Group SMS+'s 6. SPIN Motion also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 65%). Group SMS+'s advantage is ratings volume (4.2K vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Group SMS+ sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. SPIN Motion asks for nothing beyond the download.

SPIN Motion holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Group SMS+ has 4.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Group SMS+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of SPIN Motion's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
