# OddBalls vs Balance Stuff

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.

Both are free to download. Balance Stuff sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. OddBalls asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

OddBalls ships an update every 38 months, Balance Stuff every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
