# StretchBuddy vs Spuren

The clearest difference is rating: Spuren at 5.0 against StretchBuddy's 4.6. Spuren also leads on monetization model (freemium vs paid). StretchBuddy's advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StretchBuddy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Spuren sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spuren holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StretchBuddy has 54 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

StretchBuddy ships an update every 3 days, Spuren every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
