# Yarn Hoarder vs Flash Studio

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flash Studio at none against Yarn Hoarder's 1. Flash Studio also leads on ratings volume (5.8K vs 18) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Yarn Hoarder's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yarn Hoarder sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per year. Flash Studio asks for nothing beyond the download.

Flash Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash Studio has 5.8K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Yarn Hoarder's written reviews are positive against 58% of Flash Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Yarn Hoarder ships an update every 2 weeks, Flash Studio fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
