# Wildfire vs Flow Now

The clearest difference is price: Flow Now at Free against Wildfire's $0.99. Flow Now also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Wildfire's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 4) and chart position (#98 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Flow Now is free to download; Wildfire costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Flow Now holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wildfire has 1.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
