# Skyflow vs FaceLapse

The clearest difference is rating: Skyflow at 4.6 against FaceLapse's 3.4. Skyflow also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (590 vs 7). FaceLapse's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (89% vs 72%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skyflow sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and FaceLapse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Skyflow holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skyflow has 590 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Skyflow's written reviews are positive against 89% of FaceLapse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Skyflow ships an update every 3 weeks, FaceLapse every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
