# Flikbook vs AnimCreate

The clearest difference is rating: Flikbook at 4.7 against AnimCreate's 3.3. Flikbook also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and ratings volume (42 vs 8). AnimCreate's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flikbook sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and AnimCreate sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flikbook holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flikbook has 42 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Flikbook's written reviews are positive against 60% of AnimCreate's.

Flikbook ships an update every 6 weeks, AnimCreate fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
