Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Shooting Hoops at 4.5 against Pocket Rush's 3.4. Shooting Hoops also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 62) and review sentiment (70% vs 58%). Pocket Rush's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
