Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ContraBee at none against Spelling Bee's shown. ContraBee also leads on review sentiment (24% vs 0%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Spelling Bee's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Spelling Bee holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of ContraBee's written reviews are positive against 0% of Spelling Bee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
