# Fliqlo vs Tesseract

The clearest difference is price: Tesseract at Free against Fliqlo's $0.99. Tesseract also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 48%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Fliqlo's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 110). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Tesseract is free to download; Fliqlo costs $0.99 up front. Fliqlo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Tesseract sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fliqlo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fliqlo has 2.3K ratings behind it against 110, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Fliqlo's written reviews are positive against 78% of Tesseract's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fliqlo ships an update monthly, Tesseract fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
