# Kill Ball vs New Star Baseball

The clearest difference is ads: Kill Ball at none against New Star Baseball's shown. Kill Ball also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 54%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). New Star Baseball's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kill Ball sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and New Star Baseball sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kill Ball holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: New Star Baseball has 3.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Kill Ball's written reviews are positive against 54% of New Star Baseball's.
