Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ball Action at 4.6 against BotHeads 2's 3.6. Ball Action also leads on ratings volume (38K vs 72). BotHeads 2's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. BotHeads 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ball Action sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ball Action holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ball Action has 38K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of BotHeads 2's written reviews are positive against 39% of Ball Action's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BotHeads 2 ships an update every 2 days, Ball Action monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
