# Pocket Pool Pro vs Infinity 8 Ball™

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pocket Pool Pro at 82% against Infinity 8 Ball™'s 42%. Pocket Pool Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 15.0). Infinity 8 Ball™'s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (38K vs 903). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Pool Pro sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Infinity 8 Ball™ sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Infinity 8 Ball™ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinity 8 Ball™ has 38K 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 42% of Infinity 8 Ball™'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, Infinity 8 Ball™ monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
