# Hop vs Bouncing Ball

The clearest difference is ads: Bouncing Ball at none against Hop's shown. Bouncing Ball also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Hop's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hop sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bouncing Ball sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bouncing Ball holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hop has 30K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
