# Spin Squad! vs Heroes Crew

The clearest difference is ads: Heroes Crew at none against Spin Squad!'s shown. Heroes Crew also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Spin Squad!'s advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 98). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spin Squad! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Heroes Crew 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 — 4.6 for Spin Squad! against 4.6 for Heroes Crew. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spin Squad! has 1K ratings behind it against 98, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of Spin Squad!'s written reviews are positive against 69% of Heroes Crew's.

Spin Squad! ships an update every 4 days, Heroes Crew every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
