Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Spindrop at 4.5 against Pyro's 3.5. Spindrop also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 13%) and ratings volume (440 vs 27). Pyro's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spindrop sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Pyro sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Spindrop holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spindrop has 440 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Spindrop's written reviews are positive against 13% of Pyro's.
Spindrop ships an update fortnightly, Pyro every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
