# Ball Action vs NEO

Ball Action and NEO both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of NEO's written reviews are positive against 39% of Ball Action's. NEO also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Ball Action's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 3.4K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ball Action sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NEO sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Ball Action against 4.7 for NEO. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ball Action has 38K ratings behind it against 3.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 39% of Ball Action's written reviews are positive against 64% of NEO's.

Ball Action ships an update monthly, NEO every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
