# Decathlon Master vs Mini Basketball

Decathlon Master's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Decathlon Master holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Decathlon Master's written reviews are positive against 46% of Mini Basketball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Decathlon Master ships an update every 3 weeks, Mini Basketball every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
