Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Eat Repeat at 3.8 against Pop Balloon Challenge's 1.9. The Eat Repeat also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 27) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Pop Balloon Challenge's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (27% vs 10%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Eat Repeat sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Pop Balloon Challenge asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Eat Repeat holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Eat Repeat has 1.6K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of The Eat Repeat's written reviews are positive against 27% of Pop Balloon Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Eat Repeat ships an update every 2 months, Pop Balloon Challenge every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
