# Spring vs Crsel

The clearest difference is ads: Crsel at none against Spring's shown. Crsel also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Crsel holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crsel has 6.7K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Spring's written reviews are positive against 66% of Crsel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spring ships an update every 2 weeks, Crsel every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
