Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Niffler at free against Flow记账's freemium. Niffler also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Flow记账's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
