Did you know sushi consumption correlates 99.6% with Gangnam Style YouTube views? Or that mozzarella tracks deaths from falling out of bed? Welcome to Spurious. Swipe through thousands of hilarious, mathematically real, and completely meaningless correlations. Pulled from 300+ public datasets (USDA, CDC, FBI, YouTube, and more), calculated with real Pearson coefficients, and served up for your endless amusement. WHAT YOU GET: - Thousands of absurd correlations, updated regularly - Real data from trusted government and public sources - Save favorites, share with friends who appreciate statistical nonsense - Create your own correlations from 300+ datasets - Learn why correlation never means causation - Ad-free version available via in-app purchase PERFECT FOR: - Data nerds who appreciate beautiful nonsense - Teachers explaining "correlation vs causation" - Friends who need better arguments at dinner parties - Anyone who finds humor in statistical absurdity - Reddit browsers (you probably got here from r/dataisbeautiful) WHY SPURIOUS EXISTS: We are pattern-matching creatures trapped in a world containing approximately seventeen million meaningless correlations. Spurious catalogs the funniest ones. Each correlation includes a Pearson coefficient (how strongly they track), the time period, the data sources, and sometimes a commentary explaining why the universe is probably laughing at us. Remember: correlation doesn't imply causation. But it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing "look over there." Perfect for commutes, waiting rooms, or any moment you need a reminder that statistics can be both real and ridiculous. Developed by Bo Bennekov.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Questor at none against Spurious's shown. Spurious's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
