Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Waggle Squad at none against Spellers's shown. Waggle Squad also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (49 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence 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. Spellers sells 45 one-off in-app purchases and Waggle Squad sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Waggle Squad holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Waggle Squad has 49 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Spellers's written reviews are positive against 48% of Waggle Squad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spellers ships an update every 4 days, Waggle Squad weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
