# iSpyMobile vs Super Ear

The clearest difference is rating: Super Ear at 4.5 against iSpyMobile's 2.8. Super Ear also leads on ratings volume (759 vs 31) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.4). iSpyMobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Super Ear sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. iSpyMobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

Super Ear holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Ear has 759 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of iSpyMobile's written reviews are positive against 7% of Super Ear's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iSpyMobile ships an update every 3 weeks, Super Ear every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
