# Flipd vs Bakery

The clearest difference is update cadence: Flipd at every 11 days against Bakery's every 6 weeks. Flipd also leads on ratings volume (7K vs 827). Bakery's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 49%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flipd sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Bakery sells 2 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 — 4.5 for Flipd against 4.6 for Bakery. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flipd has 7K ratings behind it against 827, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Flipd's written reviews are positive against 64% of Bakery's.

Flipd ships an update every 11 days, Bakery every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
