# leaf vs Flippy

The clearest difference is rating: Flippy at 4.6 against leaf's 3.8. Flippy also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and ratings volume (19 vs 6). leaf's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (33% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. leaf sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Flippy sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flippy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 19 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of leaf's written reviews are positive against 0% of Flippy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

leaf ships an update every 9 days, Flippy weekly. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
