Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pocket Pool Pro at none against 8 Pool Master's shown. Pocket Pool Pro also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 61%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). 8 Pool Master's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (20K vs 903). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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
Both are free to download. Pocket Pool Pro sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and 8 Pool Master sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
8 Pool Master holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 8 Pool Master has 20K ratings behind it against 903, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Pocket Pool Pro's written reviews are positive against 61% of 8 Pool Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pocket Pool Pro ships an update every 6 weeks, 8 Pool Master every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
