# Differences+ vs Spot the Differences

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spot the Differences at none against Differences+'s 1. Spot the Differences also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). Differences+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Differences+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Spot the Differences asks for nothing beyond the download.

Spot the Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Differences+'s written reviews are positive against 90% of Spot the Differences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Differences+ ships an update every 6 months, Spot the Differences every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
