# Mouse ! vs Flow Free

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.

Both are free to download. Mouse ! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Flow Free sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flow Free holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow Free has 10K ratings behind it against 101, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Mouse !'s written reviews are positive against 90% of Flow Free's.

Mouse ! ships an update every 2 weeks, Flow Free every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
