# sp vs Ignis

The clearest difference is rating: Ignis at 4.7 against sp's 3.7. Ignis also leads on ratings volume (7.9K vs 140). sp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. sp sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Ignis sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ignis holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ignis has 7.9K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of sp's written reviews are positive against 60% of Ignis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

sp ships an update every 2 months, Ignis every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
