# Flora vs SYNTHO

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SYNTHO at 100% against Flora's 62%. SYNTHO also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 17) and ads (none vs shown). Flora's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 2). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flora sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. SYNTHO asks for nothing beyond the download.

SYNTHO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
