# 8Ball.io vs Clone Ball

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 8Ball.io at 90% against Clone Ball's 50%. 8Ball.io also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Clone Ball's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 98) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 8Ball.io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Clone Ball sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clone Ball holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clone Ball has 21K ratings behind it against 98, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of 8Ball.io's written reviews are positive against 50% of Clone Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

8Ball.io ships an update fortnightly, Clone Ball every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
