# Flop vs Launcher

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Launcher at none against Flop's 6. Launcher also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Flop's advantage is ratings volume (312 vs 19). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flop sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Launcher asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Flop against 4.3 for Launcher. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flop has 312 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Flop's written reviews are positive against 100% of Launcher's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
