Spooly manages your filament. The app knows which spools you have, how much is left on them and what a print cost, without you entering anything after each print. PRINTS IMPORT THEMSELVES Connect your Bambu Lab, Prusa or Anycubic printer. Spooly picks up finished prints and deducts the usage from the spool that is loaded in the printer. With Bambu Lab, Spooly assigns the AMS slots automatically. EVERY SPOOL AT A GLANCE Remaining amount in grams, color, material, manufacturer and storage location. When a spool runs low, Spooly lets you know. You add new spools by QR code, from the community catalog or with a photo of the label (Pro). COSTS AND ORDERS (PRO) For everyone who sells prints: projects, orders, working time and material costs in one place. The cost breakdown goes to your customers as a PDF. LABELS, STATISTICS, CHALLENGES QR labels for your spools, printed directly on your Niimbot if you like (Pro). Statistics on usage and costs. Plus challenges, badges and levels for everyone who likes collecting. FREE AND PRO Spooly is free for up to 20 spools. After signing up, you get 14 days of Pro to try it out. Spooly Pro gives you unlimited spools, AI photo import for labels and invoices, projects, orders and cost calculation, PDF cost breakdowns, Niimbot printing and statistics export. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it in your Apple ID settings at least 24 hours before it ends. BUILT BY A MAKER I build Spooly on my own in Vienna.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Spooly at every 2 days against Make3D's every 11 days. Spooly also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
