# Anti Pong vs Nova Swing

The clearest difference is ads: Nova Swing at none against Anti Pong's shown. Nova Swing also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Anti Pong's advantage is ratings volume (38 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anti Pong sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Nova Swing sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nova Swing holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anti Pong has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Anti Pong ships an update every 4 months, Nova Swing every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
