Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Flying Gorilla at fortnightly against Polybear's every 13 months. Flying Gorilla also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (57K vs 68). Polybear's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Polybear sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Flying Gorilla sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Flying Gorilla holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flying Gorilla has 57K ratings behind it against 68, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Polybear's written reviews are positive against 95% of Flying Gorilla's.
Polybear ships an update every 13 months, Flying Gorilla fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
