# Pyramid Billiard vs Tournament Pool

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pyramid Billiard at 81% against Tournament Pool's 43%. Pyramid Billiard also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 75). Tournament Pool's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pyramid Billiard sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tournament Pool sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
