Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Netflip at 5.0 against Handshake's 4.5. Netflip also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). Handshake's advantage is ratings volume (191 vs 1) and review sentiment (37% vs 25%). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Handshake sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Netflip asks for nothing beyond the download.
Netflip holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Handshake has 191 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Netflip's written reviews are positive against 37% of Handshake's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Netflip ships an update monthly, Handshake fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
