# Spin vs D.E.A.D. Protocol

The clearest difference is review sentiment: D.E.A.D. Protocol at 100% against Spin's 51%. D.E.A.D. Protocol also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 13 months). Spin's advantage is ratings volume (190 vs 7) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spin sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and D.E.A.D. Protocol sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
