# FlipKit vs CircleMaster

FlipKit and CircleMaster both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of CircleMaster's written reviews are positive against 50% of FlipKit's. CircleMaster also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). FlipKit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 30). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlipKit sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and CircleMaster sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for FlipKit against 4.6 for CircleMaster. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlipKit has 1.4K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of FlipKit's written reviews are positive against 100% of CircleMaster's.

FlipKit ships an update every 2 months, CircleMaster every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
