Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Arcadia at every 6 weeks against Super Flipside's every 9 months. Arcadia also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 8) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). Super Flipside's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Super Flipside costs $1.99 and Arcadia $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Arcadia holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arcadia has 12K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Super Flipside's written reviews are positive against 95% of Arcadia's.
Super Flipside ships an update every 9 months, Arcadia every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
