# Flip Animation vs PuppetPad

The clearest difference is rating: PuppetPad at 5.0 against Flip Animation's 4.7. PuppetPad also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Flip Animation's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 2) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flip Animation sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and PuppetPad sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PuppetPad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flip Animation has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Flip Animation's written reviews are positive against 100% of PuppetPad's.

Flip Animation ships an update weekly, PuppetPad every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
