Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pingo by Findmykids at 4.7 against SoFlow's 2.8. Pingo by Findmykids also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 10) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). SoFlow's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 44%) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pingo by Findmykids holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pingo by Findmykids has 13K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Pingo by Findmykids's written reviews are positive against 80% of SoFlow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pingo by Findmykids ships an update every 3 weeks, SoFlow every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
