Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Six Flags at Free against Coaster's $8.99. Six Flags also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). Coaster's advantage is review sentiment (41% vs 9%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Six Flags holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Six Flags has 171K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Six Flags's written reviews are positive against 41% of Coaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Six Flags ships an update fortnightly, Coaster every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
