Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flag a Day Widget at 4.7 against Flags and Capitals's 4.0. Flags and Capitals's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement 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. Flag a Day Widget sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Flags and Capitals asks for nothing beyond the download.
Flag a Day Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Flags and Capitals's written reviews are positive against 50% of Flag a Day Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
