Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Spotlight holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Spotlight's written reviews are positive against 50% of YRF Casting's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spotlight ships an update every 6 weeks, YRF Casting every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
