# FR3 vs Flash Party

The clearest difference is ads: Flash Party at none against FR3's shown. Flash Party also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). FR3's advantage is ratings volume (235K vs 15K) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FR3 sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Flash Party sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for FR3 against 4.8 for Flash Party. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FR3 has 235K ratings behind it against 15K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 55% and 55% positive.

FR3 ships an update every 3 weeks, Flash Party monthly. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
