# Fling! 2 vs Flow Free

The clearest difference is update cadence: Fling! 2 at every 9 days against Flow Free's every 7 months. Fling! 2 also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Flow Free's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 85) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fling! 2 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Flow Free sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flow Free holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow Free has 14K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Fling! 2's written reviews are positive against 82% of Flow Free's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fling! 2 ships an update every 9 days, Flow Free every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
