# Basketball Odyssey vs Kickfall

The clearest difference is rating: Kickfall at 5.0 against Basketball Odyssey's 4.5. Kickfall also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 49%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Basketball Odyssey's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Basketball Odyssey sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Kickfall sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kickfall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Basketball Odyssey has 2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Basketball Odyssey ships an update every 4 months, Kickfall every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
