# Dancing Race vs Crush Ball

The clearest difference is rating: Dancing Race at 4.2 against Crush Ball's 3.4. Dancing Race also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 24). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dancing Race sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Crush Ball sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dancing Race holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dancing Race has 2.4K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Dancing Race's written reviews are positive against 60% of Crush Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dancing Race ships an update monthly, Crush Ball every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
