Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flipside at 100% against Avocards's 30%. Flipside also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). Avocards's advantage is ratings volume (104 vs 6) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
