# Falling Bowling vs Survival Bowling

The clearest difference is update cadence: Survival Bowling at every 5 months against Falling Bowling's every 25 months. Survival Bowling also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (46 vs 5). Falling Bowling's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 67%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Falling Bowling sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Survival Bowling sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Survival Bowling holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Survival Bowling has 46 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Falling Bowling's written reviews are positive against 67% of Survival Bowling's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Falling Bowling ships an update every 25 months, Survival Bowling every 5 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
