Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SongSwipe at none against Spindrop's shown. Spindrop's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (440 vs 92). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Spindrop sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and SongSwipe sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 440 and 92 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Spindrop's written reviews are positive against 50% of SongSwipe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spindrop ships an update fortnightly, SongSwipe every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
