# 8Ball.io vs Infinity 8 Ball™

8Ball.io and Infinity 8 Ball™ both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of 8Ball.io's written reviews are positive against 42% of Infinity 8 Ball™'s. 8Ball.io also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Infinity 8 Ball™'s advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 98) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). On price, rating, 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 Infinity 8 Ball™ sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Infinity 8 Ball™ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinity 8 Ball™ has 38K 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 42% of Infinity 8 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, Infinity 8 Ball™ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
