# Spring vs FaceApp

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.

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.

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.

Spring ships an update fortnightly, FaceApp every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
