# Flipd vs Silo

The clearest difference is price: Flipd at Free against Silo's $1.99. Flipd also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (7K vs 10). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Flipd is free to download; Silo costs $1.99 up front. Flipd sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Silo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flipd holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flipd has 7K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Flipd's written reviews are positive against 38% of Silo's.

Flipd ships an update every 11 days, Silo every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
