# Spin Spell vs Ouros

The clearest difference is rating: Ouros at 4.9 against Spin Spell's 4.6. Ouros also leads on ratings volume (82 vs 14) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Spin Spell's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Spin Spell costs $0.99 and Ouros $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Ouros holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ouros has 82 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Spin Spell's written reviews are positive against 90% of Ouros's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spin Spell ships an update every 9 months, Ouros every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
