Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SP Camera at 4.5 against Spatialify's 4.0. SP Camera also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 63) and device support (4 vs 2). Spatialify's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $9.99) and review sentiment (67% vs 58%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
SP Camera costs $9.99 and Spatialify $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SP Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SP Camera has 1.7K ratings behind it against 63, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of SP Camera's written reviews are positive against 67% of Spatialify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SP Camera ships an update monthly, Spatialify every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
