Verdict

The call

Flutter and Super Starfish both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Super Starfish's written reviews are positive against 73% of Flutter's. Super Starfish also leads on ratings volume (30K vs 4.9K). Flutter's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
