Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IPPON at 4.5 against Falling the Ball's 3.0. IPPON also leads on ratings volume (76 vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Falling the Ball's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPPON sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Falling the Ball sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
IPPON holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPPON has 76 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of IPPON's written reviews are positive against 100% of Falling the Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IPPON ships an update monthly, Falling the Ball every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
