# Opti Train vs Flowtime

The clearest difference is rating: Opti Train at 5.0 against Flowtime's 4.3. Opti Train also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Flowtime's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (206 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Opti Train sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Flowtime sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Opti Train holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flowtime has 206 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Opti Train's written reviews are positive against 45% of Flowtime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Opti Train ships an update every 2 months, Flowtime every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
