# Flop vs Any Text · Widgets

The clearest difference is price: Flop at Free against Any Text · Widgets's $4.00. Flop also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Any Text · Widgets's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Flop is free to download; Any Text · Widgets costs $4.00 up front. Flop sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Any Text · Widgets asks for nothing beyond the download.

Any Text · Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 312 and 450 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Flop's written reviews are positive against 82% of Any Text · Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flop ships an update every 2 months, Any Text · Widgets every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
