# Splash vs Hop Ball 3D

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.

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.
