# UFC vs SparTime

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 (#47 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.

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.

UFC ships an update every 2 months, SparTime every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
