Listed premium choices are $0.99 a month or $2.49 a year. The Mac app costs 2.99 USD once and requires macOS 10.12 or later; a Perpetual Pro Upgrade is listed at 7.99 USD once.

FLIP is a study-time and habit tracking app for Android and iOS. It measures study time when users turn their phone face down, then sorts the time by subject into a timetable. Its focus measure compares the number of breaks with the duration of a study period. Daily, weekly, and monthly totals, a chronological timeline, and daily study details help users review their activity. Planning tools include a study schedule, to-do list, and D-day countdown. FLIP also offers global study groups, real-time study activity, a discussion board, and school rankings; users can share study totals on social networks including Facebook and Instagram. The app is free to download with ads and in-app purchases. Monthly Premium Membership costs $0.99 a month; 6 Months Premium Membership costs 4.99 USD per 6 months; Yearly Premium Membership costs $8.99 a year. Premium makes goals, groups, to-do lists, D-days, study schedules, and themes unlimited, and adds a timetable, weekly and monthly reports, and backup and restore. The Google Play listing says FLIP is more effective when used with UBhind. Its privacy disclosures say the app may share location and app activity data, may collect personal information and messages, and reports that data is not encrypted.
