# Carrom 3D vs Carrom Pool

The clearest difference is update cadence: Carrom Pool at every 2 weeks against Carrom 3D's every 10 months. Carrom Pool also leads on ratings volume (63K vs 1.1K) and chart position (#159 vs unranked). Carrom 3D's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 40%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Carrom 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Carrom Pool sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
