# Climbing Ball vs Sky Rolling

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Climbing Ball at 90% against Sky Rolling's 33%. Climbing Ball also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (27 vs 1). Sky Rolling's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sky Rolling sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Climbing Ball asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sky Rolling holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Climbing Ball has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Climbing Ball's written reviews are positive against 33% of Sky Rolling's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Climbing Ball ships an update every 5 weeks, Sky Rolling monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
