Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Flash Cards Flashcards Maker at 4.5 against Deck's 4.0. Flash Cards Flashcards Maker also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (18K vs 4). Deck's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flash Cards Flashcards Maker sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Deck sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flash Cards Flashcards Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash Cards Flashcards Maker has 18K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Flash Cards Flashcards Maker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Deck's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flash Cards Flashcards Maker ships an update every 9 days, Deck every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
