# POOLS™ vs Spin and Draw!

The clearest difference is rating: Spin and Draw! at 5.0 against POOLS™'s 4.5. Spin and Draw! also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). POOLS™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 5). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. POOLS™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Spin and Draw! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Spin and Draw! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POOLS™ has 1.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of POOLS™'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Spin and Draw!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

POOLS™ ships an update every 2 months, Spin and Draw! every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
