Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flow Free at 4.7 against Overpaint's 3.8. Flow Free also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 133) and review sentiment (82% vs 63%). Overpaint's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
