# PainLess vs Flexius

The clearest difference is ratings volume: PainLess at 185 against Flexius's 2. PainLess also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Flexius's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PainLess sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Flexius sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flexius holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PainLess has 185 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PainLess ships an update every 5 days, Flexius every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
