Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mr. Putt at none against Balance Stuff's shown. Mr. Putt also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Balance Stuff's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Mr. Putt sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Balance Stuff sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mr. Putt holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Balance Stuff has 3.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Mr. Putt's written reviews are positive against 45% of Balance Stuff's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mr. Putt ships an update every 8 days, Balance Stuff every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
