Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: FlipType at every 3 weeks against wpm's every 5 months. FlipType also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). wpm's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 9). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
