# Big Day vs Fliqlo

The clearest difference is rating: Fliqlo at 4.8 against Big Day's 4.2. Fliqlo also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 58). Big Day's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (62% vs 48%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Big Day costs $0.99 and Fliqlo $0.99 up front. Fliqlo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Big Day asks for nothing beyond the download.

Fliqlo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fliqlo has 2.3K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Big Day's written reviews are positive against 48% of Fliqlo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Big Day ships an update every 6 months, Fliqlo monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
