Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Square Planet at none against Be a pong's 1. Square Planet also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (88% vs 67%). Be a pong's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 107) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Be a pong holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Be a pong has 28K ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Square Planet's written reviews are positive against 67% of Be a pong's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Square Planet ships an update every 2 weeks, Be a pong every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
