# Flare vs Props

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flare at none against Props's 1. Flare also leads on ratings volume (6.7K vs 18) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Props sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Flare asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Flare against 5.0 for Props. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flare has 6.7K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of Flare's written reviews are positive against 100% of Props's.

Flare ships an update every 3 days, Props every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
