Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Flow Free at 4.8 against Mouse !'s 4.2. Flow Free also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 101). Mouse !'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
