# ServerCat vs Flows Shortcuts

The clearest difference is rating: ServerCat at 4.6 against Flows Shortcuts's 4.0. ServerCat also leads on ratings volume (996 vs 2) and chart position (#90 vs unranked). Flows Shortcuts's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ServerCat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Flows Shortcuts asks for nothing beyond the download.

ServerCat holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerCat has 996 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of ServerCat's written reviews are positive against 80% of Flows Shortcuts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ServerCat ships an update every 5 days, Flows Shortcuts weekly. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
