# Quizlet vs Flashtex

The clearest difference is ads: Flashtex at none against Quizlet's shown. Flashtex also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 61%). Quizlet's advantage is ratings volume (1.1M vs 186) and chart position (#5 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quizlet sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Flashtex sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Quizlet against 4.8 for Flashtex. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quizlet has 1.1M ratings behind it against 186, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of Quizlet's written reviews are positive against 89% of Flashtex's.

Quizlet ships an update weekly, Flashtex every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
