Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DanGool at 100% against Metro Flex's 43%. DanGool also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Metro Flex's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DanGool holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metro Flex has 1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Metro Flex's written reviews are positive against 100% of DanGool's.
Metro Flex ships an update every 4 weeks, DanGool every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 11, 2026.
