# Spring vs TrimCut

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spring at 74% against TrimCut's 6%. Spring also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.7 vs 4.2). TrimCut's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spring sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and TrimCut sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spring holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spring has 1K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Spring's written reviews are positive against 6% of TrimCut's.

Spring ships an update every 2 weeks, TrimCut every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
