# AllMyBatteries vs ShortFlow

The clearest difference is ratings volume: AllMyBatteries at 2.3K against ShortFlow's 196. AllMyBatteries also leads on device support (5 vs 2). ShortFlow's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 56%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AllMyBatteries sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and ShortFlow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ShortFlow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AllMyBatteries has 2.3K ratings behind it against 196, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of AllMyBatteries's written reviews are positive against 68% of ShortFlow's.

AllMyBatteries ships an update fortnightly, ShortFlow every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
