Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ball Rider at none against Matman's shown. Ball Rider also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (20 vs 2). Matman's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ball Rider sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Matman sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Matman holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ball Rider has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Ball Rider ships an update every 5 days, Matman every 26 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
