Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Friedrich holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Friedrich has 53 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Friedrich's written reviews are positive against 67% of iFLO PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Friedrich ships an update monthly, iFLO PRO every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
