# Back vs Flyer™

The clearest difference is update cadence: Back at every 3 weeks against Flyer™'s every 4 months. Back also leads on rating (2.5 vs 2.2) and ratings volume (123 vs 6). Flyer™'s advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 13%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Back holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Back has 123 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Back's written reviews are positive against 25% of Flyer™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Back ships an update every 3 weeks, Flyer™ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
