# Rocket Hands vs Pinball

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rocket Hands at 80% against Pinball's 25%. Rocket Hands also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Pinball's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 91) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pinball sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Rocket Hands asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pinball holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pinball has 23K ratings behind it against 91, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Rocket Hands's written reviews are positive against 25% of Pinball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Rocket Hands ships an update every 6 months, Pinball every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
