Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dribble Hoops at 4.7 against Touchgrind BMX's 3.8. Dribble Hoops also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (218K vs 683). Touchgrind BMX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (73% vs 58%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Touchgrind BMX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Dribble Hoops sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dribble Hoops holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dribble Hoops has 218K ratings behind it against 683, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Touchgrind BMX's written reviews are positive against 58% of Dribble Hoops's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Touchgrind BMX ships an update every 6 months, Dribble Hoops every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
