# SteadyBall vs Bold Attack

The clearest difference is price: Bold Attack at Free against SteadyBall's $9.99. Bold Attack also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (418 vs 8). SteadyBall's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 19%) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Bold Attack is free to download; SteadyBall costs $9.99 up front. SteadyBall sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Bold Attack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bold Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bold Attack has 418 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of SteadyBall's written reviews are positive against 19% of Bold Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SteadyBall ships an update every 5 days, Bold Attack daily. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
