# ProLook vs Academic Ballers

The clearest difference is ads: Academic Ballers at none against ProLook's shown. Academic Ballers also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). ProLook's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProLook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Academic Ballers sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Academic Ballers holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProLook has 44 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ProLook ships an update fortnightly, Academic Ballers every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
