# 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 (13K vs 100). Mouse !'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 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 18 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 13K ratings behind it against 100, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 82% and 82% positive.

Mouse ! ships an update every 2 weeks, Flow Free every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
