Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: xDelete at 4.7 against Flash Tree's 4.0. xDelete also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (501 vs 4). Flash Tree's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flash Tree sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. xDelete asks for nothing beyond the download.
xDelete holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xDelete has 501 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of xDelete's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flash Tree's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
