# PureStatus vs Spring

The clearest difference is rating: Spring at 4.7 against PureStatus's 4.3. Spring also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 48%). PureStatus's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 1.1K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PureStatus sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Spring sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spring holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PureStatus has 12K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of PureStatus's written reviews are positive against 74% of Spring's.

PureStatus ships an update every 3 weeks, Spring every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
