# PinOut! vs Falling Ballz

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Falling Ballz at none against PinOut!'s 1. Falling Ballz also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). PinOut!'s advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 54%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PinOut! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Falling Ballz asks for nothing beyond the download.

Falling Ballz holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7.1K and 9.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PinOut!'s written reviews are positive against 54% of Falling Ballz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PinOut! ships an update every 2 weeks, Falling Ballz every 11 days. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
