# Shootout 3D vs Quarterback

The clearest difference is ads: Quarterback at none against Shootout 3D's shown. Quarterback also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 11%). Shootout 3D's advantage is ratings volume (82K vs 610). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shootout 3D sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days and Quarterback sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 Shootout 3D against 4.6 for Quarterback. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shootout 3D has 82K ratings behind it against 610, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 11% of Shootout 3D's written reviews are positive against 33% of Quarterback's.

Shootout 3D ships an update every 3 months, Quarterback weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
