# Flow Free vs Flow Legends

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flow Free at 82% against Flow Legends's 34%. Flow Free also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#46 vs unranked). Flow Legends's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flow Free sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Flow Legends sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flow Free holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow Free has 401K ratings behind it against 50K, 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 34% of Flow Legends's.

Flow Free ships an update every 5 months, Flow Legends every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
