Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Flip Master at 4.7 against True Surf's 3.9. Flip Master also leads on ratings volume (97K vs 3.4K) and review sentiment (78% vs 61%). True Surf's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. True Surf sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Flip Master sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
