# Corebound vs The Floppy Fish

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Corebound at 1K against The Floppy Fish's 2. Corebound also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). The Floppy Fish's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Corebound sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and The Floppy Fish sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Corebound against 5.0 for The Floppy Fish. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Corebound has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Corebound ships an update every 8 days, The Floppy Fish fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
