# Hinge Dating App vs Spinner+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spinner+ at 100% against Hinge Dating App's 48%. Spinner+ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Hinge Dating App's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (1.1M vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hinge Dating App sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Spinner+ sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spinner+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hinge Dating App has 1.1M ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Hinge Dating App's written reviews are positive against 100% of Spinner+'s.

Hinge Dating App ships an update weekly, Spinner+ every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
