# Running Thief vs Flying Cut

The clearest difference is rating: Flying Cut at 4.6 against Running Thief's 3.7. Flying Cut also leads on ratings volume (30K vs 3). Running Thief's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flying Cut sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Running Thief asks for nothing beyond the download.

Flying Cut holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flying Cut has 30K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Running Thief's written reviews are positive against 23% of Flying Cut's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Running Thief ships an update every 5 days, Flying Cut monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
