Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: 8 Ball Pool™ at fortnightly against Flip Diving's every 3 months. 8 Ball Pool™ also leads on ratings volume (4.8M vs 135K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. 8 Ball Pool™ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Flip Diving sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

8 Ball Pool™ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 8 Ball Pool™ has 4.8M ratings behind it against 135K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of 8 Ball Pool™'s written reviews are positive against 81% of Flip Diving's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

8 Ball Pool™ ships an update fortnightly, Flip Diving every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
