Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FaceApp at none against Spring's shown. FaceApp also leads on ratings volume (1.8M vs 677) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Spring's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Spring sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and FaceApp sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FaceApp holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FaceApp has 1.8M ratings behind it against 677, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Spring's written reviews are positive against 47% of FaceApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spring ships an update fortnightly, FaceApp every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
