Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spectral at 100% against Ball Action's 39%. Spectral also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Ball Action's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ball Action sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Spectral sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Spectral holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ball Action has 38K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Ball Action's written reviews are positive against 100% of Spectral's.
Ball Action ships an update monthly, Spectral weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
