Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flashback at 100% against Textograph's 33%. Flashback also leads on price (Free vs $2.99). Textograph's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (120 vs 1). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Flashback is free to download; Textograph costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Textograph holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Textograph has 120 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Textograph's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flashback's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Textograph ships an update every 2 months, Flashback every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
