# Pixel Basketball vs Touchdown Tumble

The clearest difference is ads: Touchdown Tumble at none against Pixel Basketball's shown. Touchdown Tumble also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Pixel Basketball's advantage is rating (3.3 vs 3.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Basketball sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Touchdown Tumble sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Basketball holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 40 and 57 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Pixel Basketball's written reviews are positive against 46% of Touchdown Tumble's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pixel Basketball ships an update every 3 weeks, Touchdown Tumble every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
