Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 360 Writer at 4.6 against Flow's 4.2. 360 Writer also leads on ratings volume (911 vs 59). Flow's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
