Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: flix at free against Net's free with in-app purchases. flix also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Net's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (68 vs 11). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Net sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and flix sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Net holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Net has 68 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Net's written reviews are positive against 80% of flix's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Net ships an update every 6 weeks, flix every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
