Verdict

The call

Can Knockdown and Ball both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Can Knockdown's written reviews are positive against 71% of Ball's. Can Knockdown also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Ball's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (21K vs 2.5K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
