# Flutter Starlight vs Blink

The clearest difference is ads: Blink at none against Flutter Starlight's shown. Blink also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (96% vs 82%). Flutter Starlight's advantage is ratings volume (8.2K vs 124). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flutter Starlight sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Blink sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Flutter Starlight against 4.7 for Blink. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flutter Starlight has 8.2K ratings behind it against 124, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Flutter Starlight's written reviews are positive against 96% of Blink's.

Flutter Starlight ships an update every 2 months, Blink every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
