Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Knife Spin at none against Dunk Shot's shown. Knife Spin also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Dunk Shot's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 210) and review sentiment (51% vs 38%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dunk Shot sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Knife Spin sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Knife Spin holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dunk Shot has 11K ratings behind it against 210, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Dunk Shot's written reviews are positive against 38% of Knife Spin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dunk Shot ships an update every 4 months, Knife Spin every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
