# Pool Strike vs Really Weird Pool

The clearest difference is rating: Really Weird Pool at 4.6 against Pool Strike's 2.6. Really Weird Pool also leads on ratings volume (491 vs 7). Pool Strike's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (84% vs 65%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pool Strike sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Really Weird Pool sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Really Weird Pool holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Really Weird Pool has 491 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Pool Strike's written reviews are positive against 65% of Really Weird Pool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pool Strike ships an update every 2 months, Really Weird Pool every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
