Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cosmic Flip at none against Mars's shown. Cosmic Flip also leads on update cadence (daily vs monthly) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). Mars's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 4) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mars sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Cosmic Flip sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cosmic Flip holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mars has 22K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Mars's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cosmic Flip's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mars ships an update monthly, Cosmic Flip daily. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
