# 鬼とび vs Climbing Ball

The clearest difference is rating: 鬼とび at 5.0 against Climbing Ball's 4.7. 鬼とび also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). Climbing Ball's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (27 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

鬼とび holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Climbing Ball has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of 鬼とび's written reviews are positive against 90% of Climbing Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

鬼とび ships an update every 5 months, Climbing Ball every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
