Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Cruise at fortnightly against Spot The Differences's every 27 months. Cruise also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (855 vs 17). Spot The Differences's advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 27%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Spot The Differences sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cruise sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cruise holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cruise has 855 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Spot The Differences's written reviews are positive against 27% of Cruise's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spot The Differences ships an update every 27 months, Cruise fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
