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.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ball has 21K ratings behind it against 2.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Can Knockdown's written reviews are positive against 71% of Ball's.
