Both are free to download. State Connect sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Ball Maze Maker asks for nothing beyond the download.
State Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: State Connect has 142K ratings behind it against 352, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of State Connect's written reviews are positive against 38% of Ball Maze Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
State Connect ships an update monthly, Ball Maze Maker every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
