Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Flags at none against Visited's shown. Flags also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Visited's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 1) and chart position (#119 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Visited sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Flags sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
