Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 鬼ピンポン at 5.0 against SamuraiZone's 4.5. SamuraiZone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

鬼ピンポン holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SamuraiZone has 17 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of SamuraiZone's written reviews are positive against 61% of 鬼ピンポン's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SamuraiZone ships an update every 8 months, 鬼ピンポン every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
