Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Glides at none against Flippy Knife's shown. Glides also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.2). Flippy Knife's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 47%) and ratings volume (36K vs 564). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
