Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: spin5 at none against Savvy's 1. spin5 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Savvy's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 9) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

spin5 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Savvy has 1.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of spin5's written reviews are positive against 67% of Savvy's.
spin5 ships an update daily, Savvy every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
