Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Site Specs at fortnightly against Crews by Core's every 6 weeks. Site Specs also leads on ratings volume (232 vs 15) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Crews by Core's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Site Specs holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Site Specs has 232 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 98% of Site Specs's written reviews are positive against 100% of Crews by Core's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Site Specs ships an update fortnightly, Crews by Core every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 22, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
