# Blue Attack! vs Ball 3D

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Blue Attack! at 89% against Ball 3D's 33%. Blue Attack! also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 23 months). Ball 3D's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
