# Knife Hit vs Flippy Pancake

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Knife Hit at 80K against Flippy Pancake's 1.1K. Knife Hit also leads on chart position (#186 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Knife Hit sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Flippy Pancake sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 Knife Hit against 4.6 for Flippy Pancake. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Knife Hit has 80K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 62% and 62% positive.

Knife Hit ships an update every 2 months, Flippy Pancake every 5 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
