# Doodle Dunk vs BACKFLIP

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BACKFLIP at none against Doodle Dunk's 1. BACKFLIP also leads on review sentiment (53% vs 43%). Doodle Dunk's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doodle Dunk sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BACKFLIP asks for nothing beyond the download.

Doodle Dunk holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doodle Dunk has 22K ratings behind it against 631, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Doodle Dunk's written reviews are positive against 53% of BACKFLIP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Doodle Dunk ships an update every 6 days, BACKFLIP every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
