Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mergetin at none against BALL x PIT's 2. Mergetin also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). BALL x PIT's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BALL x PIT holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BALL x PIT has 4.3K ratings behind it against 145, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Mergetin's written reviews are positive against 70% of BALL x PIT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mergetin ships an update every 7 months, BALL x PIT weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
