# PinOut! vs Flippy

The clearest difference is update cadence: Flippy at daily against PinOut!'s every 2 weeks. Flippy also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). PinOut!'s advantage is ratings volume (7.1K vs 741). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PinOut! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Flippy sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
