Verdict

The call

Flipd and FocusFlow both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of FocusFlow's written reviews are positive against 49% of Flipd's. FocusFlow also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Flipd's advantage is ratings volume (7K vs 215) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
