Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: High Hoops at 4.4 against PinOut!'s 4.2. High Hoops also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). PinOut!'s advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 50%) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 803). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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 High Hoops sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
High Hoops 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 803, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PinOut!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of High Hoops's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
