Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PinKnockdown at 5.0 against Cliff's 4.2. Cliff's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 37 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PinKnockdown holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Cliff's written reviews are positive against 68% of PinKnockdown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cliff ships an update every 4 months, PinKnockdown every 37 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
