Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spades Star at 64% against Speed's 40%. Speed's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads 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.
Speed holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 64 and 108 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Speed's written reviews are positive against 64% of Spades Star's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
