# Flow Free vs Link Master

The clearest difference is rating: Flow Free at 4.8 against Link Master's 4.3. Flow Free also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 48%) and ratings volume (401K vs 223). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flow Free sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Link Master 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 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow Free has 401K ratings behind it against 223, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Flow Free's written reviews are positive against 48% of Link Master's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
