Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cover Orange (Ad Supported) at 4.7 against Fling! Lite's 3.8. Cover Orange (Ad Supported) also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 516). Fling! Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fling! Lite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cover Orange (Ad Supported) sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cover Orange (Ad Supported) holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cover Orange (Ad Supported) has 3K ratings behind it against 516, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Fling! Lite's written reviews are positive against 70% of Cover Orange (Ad Supported)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fling! Lite ships an update every 5 weeks, Cover Orange (Ad Supported) every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
