Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Laser Dots at 71% against Pinball's 25%. Laser Dots also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Pinball's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (23K vs 107). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Laser Dots sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pinball sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pinball holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pinball has 23K ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Laser Dots's written reviews are positive against 25% of Pinball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
