# Thinger vs Flatify

The clearest difference is rating: Thinger at 4.6 against Flatify's 1.0. Thinger also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). Flatify's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thinger sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Flatify sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thinger holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thinger has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Thinger ships an update every 5 days, Flatify every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
