# Flows vs Libreto

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Flows at 7 against Libreto's 1. On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flows sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Libreto sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 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 Flows against 5.0 for Libreto. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flows has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Flows ships an update weekly, Libreto every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
