# Flex Run 3D vs First To Life

Flex Run 3D and First To Life both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 59% of Flex Run 3D's written reviews are positive against 39% of First To Life's. Flex Run 3D also leads on ratings volume (180K vs 26K). First To Life's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flex Run 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and First To Life sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Flex Run 3D against 4.7 for First To Life. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flex Run 3D has 180K ratings behind it against 26K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Flex Run 3D's written reviews are positive against 39% of First To Life's.

Flex Run 3D ships an update monthly, First To Life fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
