# FlashToPass vs Puppet Pals

The clearest difference is rating: FlashToPass at 4.4 against Puppet Pals's 3.8. FlashToPass also leads on ratings volume (931 vs 53). Puppet Pals's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlashToPass sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Puppet Pals sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FlashToPass holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlashToPass has 931 ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of FlashToPass's written reviews are positive against 71% of Puppet Pals's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FlashToPass ships an update every 4 months, Puppet Pals every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
