# Dunk Shot vs Flip Dunk

The clearest difference is rating: Flip Dunk at 4.6 against Dunk Shot's 4.3. Flip Dunk also leads on ratings volume (336K vs 11K) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dunk Shot sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Flip Dunk sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flip Dunk holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flip Dunk has 336K ratings behind it against 11K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Dunk Shot's written reviews are positive against 46% of Flip Dunk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dunk Shot ships an update every 4 months, Flip Dunk every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
