Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Red Ball ™ at Free against Kaamos's $3.99. Red Ball ™ also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). Kaamos's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
