Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PlayFMK at 5.0 against Yik Yak's 3.9. PlayFMK also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (60% vs 25%). Yik Yak's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (51K vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yik Yak sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PlayFMK sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PlayFMK holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yik Yak has 51K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Yik Yak's written reviews are positive against 60% of PlayFMK's.
Yik Yak ships an update weekly, PlayFMK every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
