# Inkvasion vs Spellers

The clearest difference is ads: Inkvasion at none against Spellers's shown. Inkvasion also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 54%) and ratings volume (94 vs 5). Spellers's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inkvasion sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Spellers sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Inkvasion against 4.2 for Spellers. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inkvasion has 94 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Inkvasion's written reviews are positive against 54% of Spellers's.

Inkvasion ships an update monthly, Spellers every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
