Both are free to download. Bitnoid sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Pinball Wizard sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Pinball Wizard holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 744 and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Bitnoid's written reviews are positive against 66% of The Pinball Wizard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bitnoid ships an update every 4 days, The Pinball Wizard fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
