# Flip vs Flip Runner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flip at 84% against Flip Runner's 54%. Flip also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Flip Runner's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 266) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flip sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Flip Runner sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flip Runner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flip Runner has 38K ratings behind it against 266, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Flip's written reviews are positive against 54% of Flip Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
