Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hive Inspection Software at 4.9 against Sprk Pro's 4.0. Hive Inspection Software also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (32 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Hive Inspection Software holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hive Inspection Software has 32 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Sprk Pro's written reviews are positive against 97% of Hive Inspection Software's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sprk Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, Hive Inspection Software every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
