Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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.
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.
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.
