# Flippy Knife vs Dune!

Flippy Knife and Dune! both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Flippy Knife's written reviews are positive against 28% of Dune!'s. Dune!'s advantage is ratings volume (545K vs 36K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flippy Knife sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Dune! sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Flippy Knife against 4.5 for Dune!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dune! has 545K ratings behind it against 36K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of Flippy Knife's written reviews are positive against 28% of Dune!'s.

Flippy Knife ships an update every 5 weeks, Dune! fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
