Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PinOut! at none against Williams™ Pinball's shown. PinOut! also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 51%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Williams™ Pinball's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, 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 Williams™ Pinball sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Williams™ Pinball holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7.1K and 15K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PinOut!'s written reviews are positive against 51% of Williams™ Pinball'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, Williams™ Pinball every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
