# Rapchat vs Flip Sampler

The clearest difference is price: Rapchat at Free against Flip Sampler's $11.99. Rapchat also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (99K vs 326). Flip Sampler's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 21) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On review sentiment, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Rapchat is free to download; Flip Sampler costs $11.99 up front. Rapchat sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Flip Sampler asks for nothing beyond the download.

Rapchat holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rapchat has 99K ratings behind it against 326, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Rapchat's written reviews are positive against 64% of Flip Sampler's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Rapchat ships an update weekly, Flip Sampler every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
