# Monkey Flight vs Fishing Break

The clearest difference is price: Fishing Break at Free against Monkey Flight's $1.99. Fishing Break also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 154). Monkey Flight's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (92% vs 76%). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Fishing Break is free to download; Monkey Flight costs $1.99 up front. Monkey Flight sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Fishing Break sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Monkey Flight against 4.7 for Fishing Break. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fishing Break has 13K ratings behind it against 154, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 92% of Monkey Flight's written reviews are positive against 76% of Fishing Break's.

Monkey Flight ships an update every 3 months, Fishing Break every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
