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. PinOut! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ballz Break sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ballz Break holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PinOut! has 7.1K ratings behind it against 194, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PinOut!'s written reviews are positive against 17% of Ballz Break's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
