Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Flatstick Pub holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flatstick Pub has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Flatstick Pub's written reviews are positive against 50% of Locust Cider's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Flatstick Pub ships an update every 2 months, Locust Cider every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
