# Mortal Kombat vs Flash Party

The clearest difference is ads: Flash Party at none against Mortal Kombat's shown. Flash Party also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Mortal Kombat's advantage is ratings volume (152K vs 15K) and chart position (#39 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mortal Kombat sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Flash Party sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flash Party holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mortal Kombat has 152K ratings behind it against 15K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Mortal Kombat's written reviews are positive against 55% of Flash Party's.

Mortal Kombat ships an update every 2 months, Flash Party monthly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
