# Fling! Lite vs Pocket Frogs

The clearest difference is rating: Pocket Frogs at 4.4 against Fling! Lite's 3.8. Pocket Frogs also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (88% vs 72%). Fling! Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
