# True Surf vs Flip Master

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.

Flip Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flip Master has 97K ratings behind it against 3.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of True Surf's written reviews are positive against 78% of Flip Master's.

True Surf ships an update fortnightly, Flip Master every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
