Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ballz at 4.3 against BBTAN's 3.1. Ballz also leads on ratings volume (71K vs 1.1K). BBTAN's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BBTAN sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Ballz sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ballz holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ballz has 71K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of BBTAN's written reviews are positive against 46% of Ballz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BBTAN ships an update every 9 days, Ballz every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
