Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Shooting Hoops at none against Flarts's shown. Shooting Hoops also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 61%). Flarts's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flarts sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Shooting Hoops sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Flarts holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.8K and 1.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Flarts's written reviews are positive against 70% of Shooting Hoops's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Flarts ships an update every 6 weeks, Shooting Hoops every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
