# Bloobi vs Ballpins

Bloobi and Ballpins both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 97% of Bloobi's written reviews are positive against 0% of Ballpins's. Bloobi also leads on ratings volume (38 vs 2). Ballpins's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bloobi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Ballpins asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ballpins holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloobi has 38 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Bloobi's written reviews are positive against 0% of Ballpins's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bloobi ships an update fortnightly, Ballpins every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
