Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Apex Gymnastics at 100% against Spond's 61%. Apex Gymnastics also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Spond's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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.
Spond holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spond has 3.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Spond's written reviews are positive against 100% of Apex Gymnastics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spond ships an update weekly, Apex Gymnastics every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
