# BALL x PIT vs Feed the Deep

The clearest difference is update cadence: Feed the Deep at daily against BALL x PIT's weekly. BALL x PIT's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 385). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BALL x PIT sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Feed the Deep sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BALL x PIT holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BALL x PIT has 3.6K ratings behind it against 385, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of BALL x PIT's written reviews are positive against 73% of Feed the Deep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BALL x PIT ships an update weekly, Feed the Deep daily. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
