# Snooker World vs Pool Trickshots

The clearest difference is rating: Pool Trickshots at 4.6 against Snooker World's 3.4. Pool Trickshots also leads on ratings volume (531 vs 14). Snooker World's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (76% vs 46%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snooker World sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Pool Trickshots sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pool Trickshots holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pool Trickshots has 531 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Snooker World's written reviews are positive against 46% of Pool Trickshots's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Snooker World ships an update every 2 months, Pool Trickshots monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
