# Campanion vs Flashop

The clearest difference is rating: Campanion at 4.9 against Flashop's 4.5. Campanion also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (40K vs 44). Flashop's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 66%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Campanion sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Flashop sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Campanion holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Campanion has 40K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Campanion's written reviews are positive against 85% of Flashop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Campanion ships an update every 8 days, Flashop every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
