# Make It Fly! vs Junkyard Keeper

The clearest difference is rating: Junkyard Keeper at 4.6 against Make It Fly!'s 4.1. Junkyard Keeper also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (43K vs 7.2K). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Make It Fly! sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Junkyard Keeper sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Junkyard Keeper holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Junkyard Keeper has 43K ratings behind it against 7.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Make It Fly!'s written reviews are positive against 29% of Junkyard Keeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Make It Fly! ships an update every 2 months, Junkyard Keeper monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
