# Diver Dash vs Flip Runner

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Flip Runner at 38K against Diver Dash's 42. Diver Dash's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 54%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Diver Dash sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Flip Runner sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Diver Dash against 4.7 for Flip Runner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flip Runner has 38K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of Diver Dash's written reviews are positive against 54% of Flip Runner's.

Diver Dash ships an update monthly, Flip Runner every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
