Both are free to download. Basketball Showdown sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Basket Fall sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Basketball Showdown holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.8K and 884 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Basketball Showdown's written reviews are positive against 83% of Basket Fall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Basketball Showdown ships an update every 3 weeks, Basket Fall every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
