Allied air services were also equipped with the new fighter.
The Royal Flying Corps was the first foreign service to receive the SPAD VII, although only two squadrons (19 and 23 Squadrons) used it on the Western Front.
In addition, fighter schools in the United-Kingdom and 30 Squadron in Mesopotamia also received SPADs.
British-built SPADs were generally used in the training units and in the Middle East, while fighting units in France used superior French-built models.
The SPAD VII was replaced by the Sopwith Dolphin in 19 Squadron in January 1918 – with No.
23 Squadron in April (becoming perhaps the last squadron to use S.VIIs in France).

Russia received a batch of 43 in spring 1917 which were supplemented by approximately 100 SPAD VII manufactured by the Dux factory under license.

Another early user of the SPAD VII was Germany.
Several were captured intact and were reportedly used both in combat and for training.
Rudolph Windisch of Jasta 66 flew a SPAD VII in combat with German markings although it is not known if any aerial victories were achieved.

Belgium equipped the 5e Escadrille (later renamed 10e Escadrille) with the S.VII.
Edmond Thieffry was probably the most famous Belgian pilot to fly the type, most other aces preferring the Hanriot HD.1.

Italy began using the SPAD VII in March 1917 where nine Squadriglia were equipped with it.
As was the case in other air services, pilots accustomed to more maneuverable mounts disliked the new fighter, and again some reverted to the Nieuport 27 or the Hanriot HD.1, which eventually became the standard Italian Fighter.
Francesco Baracca, Italy's leading ace, was delighted with the new model and his personal aircraft is preserved in Italy.

When the United States entered the war in 1917, an order for 189 SPAD VIIs was placed for the United States Army Air Service of the American Expeditionary Force.
The first aircraft were delivered in December 1917.
Most were used as advanced trainers to prepare the American pilots for the SPAD XIII.

After the war, surplus SPAD VIIs were used into the late 1920s by numerous countries, including Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Greece, Japan, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Siam, the United States and Yugoslavia.
