Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SFH at 5.0 against Ballistics's 4.5. SFH also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15). Ballistics's advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Ballistics sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. SFH asks for nothing beyond the download.
SFH holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ballistics has 60 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Ballistics's written reviews are positive against 33% of SFH's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ballistics ships an update every 2 months, SFH every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
