Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: UFC at 4.8 against SparTime's 4.0. UFC also leads on ratings volume (47K vs 1) and chart position (#45 vs unranked). SparTime's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UFC sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SparTime sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

UFC holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UFC has 47K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

UFC ships an update every 2 months, SparTime every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
