Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Merge Ball 3D at none against MelonBox's 12. Merge Ball 3D also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.7 vs 3.4). MelonBox's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Merge Ball 3D holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MelonBox has 47 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Merge Ball 3D's written reviews are positive against 25% of MelonBox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Merge Ball 3D ships an update every 3 months, MelonBox every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
