# Visited vs Flags

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 (#143 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.

Flags holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visited has 14K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Visited ships an update monthly, Flags weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
