Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OddBalls at 92% against Balance Stuff's 45%. OddBalls also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Balance Stuff's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 38 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Balance Stuff holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Balance Stuff has 3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of OddBalls's written reviews are positive against 45% of Balance Stuff's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OddBalls ships an update every 38 months, Balance Stuff every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
