# Deck vs Flash Cards Maker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Deck at 100% against Flash Cards Maker's 54%. Deck also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Flash Cards Maker's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deck sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and Flash Cards Maker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flash Cards Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash Cards Maker has 84 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Deck's written reviews are positive against 54% of Flash Cards Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Deck ships an update every 3 months, Flash Cards Maker every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on July 19, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
