The clearest difference is price: Billiards 3D at Free against Virtual Pool 4's $4.99. Billiards 3D also leads on rating (3.8 vs 3.5) and device support (3 vs 1). Virtual Pool 4's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and review sentiment (51% vs 40%). On update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Billiards 3D is free to download; Virtual Pool 4 costs $4.99 up front. Billiards 3D sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Virtual Pool 4 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Billiards 3D holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Virtual Pool 4 has 35 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Virtual Pool 4's written reviews are positive against 40% of Billiards 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
