# Metadata Pro vs FlatZap

The clearest difference is price: FlatZap at Free against Metadata Pro's $3.99. FlatZap also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8). Metadata Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (29% vs 0%). On update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

FlatZap is free to download; Metadata Pro costs $3.99 up front. FlatZap sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Metadata Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

FlatZap holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metadata Pro has 127 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Metadata Pro's written reviews are positive against 0% of FlatZap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
