Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Splash at none against Hop Ball 3D's shown. Splash also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 49%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Hop Ball 3D's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (63K vs 1.8K). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hop Ball 3D sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hop Ball 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hop Ball 3D has 63K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Splash's written reviews are positive against 49% of Hop Ball 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
