# Cross World vs Flexle

The clearest difference is ads: Flexle at none against Cross World's shown. Cross World's advantage is chart position (#134 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cross World sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Flexle sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
