Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: iFLYER at none against Flash's shown. iFLYER also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Flash's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
