# Ophidia vs Flying Tank

The clearest difference is rating: Flying Tank at 4.7 against Ophidia's 4.0. Flying Tank also leads on ratings volume (384 vs 13). Ophidia's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flying Tank sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Ophidia asks for nothing beyond the download.

Flying Tank holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flying Tank has 384 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Ophidia's written reviews are positive against 72% of Flying Tank's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ophidia ships an update every 3 weeks, Flying Tank every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
