# PlayMaker Pro vs KnoBall

The clearest difference is rating: KnoBall at 5.0 against PlayMaker Pro's 2.7. KnoBall also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). PlayMaker Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PlayMaker Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and KnoBall sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

KnoBall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlayMaker Pro has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PlayMaker Pro ships an update every 3 months, KnoBall every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
