Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: sprinti at 4.9 against FahrPlaner's 4.4. sprinti also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.7). FahrPlaner's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 48%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

sprinti holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FahrPlaner has 45 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of FahrPlaner's written reviews are positive against 48% of sprinti's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FahrPlaner ships an update every 4 months, sprinti every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
