# Ballz vs Level Up Balls!

The clearest difference is rating: Level Up Balls! at 4.6 against Ballz's 4.3. Level Up Balls! also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Ballz's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 29%) and ratings volume (70K vs 5.9K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ballz sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Level Up Balls! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Level Up Balls! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ballz has 70K ratings behind it against 5.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Ballz's written reviews are positive against 29% of Level Up Balls!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ballz ships an update every 3 weeks, Level Up Balls! weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
