Hello Billiard

Take a photo of the billiard table, and Hello Billiard reads the ball positions and proposes scoring paths with success rates, computed by an on-device physics simulation. ■ Photo recognition One photo of the table is enough to locate the balls. Photos are processed on your device and never uploaded. ■ 4-ball path simulator Measured deflection angles, spin (english) and multi-cushion paths are computed by a physics engine. It recommends only the shots you can actually make at beginner / intermediate / advanced level, and shows success rate and ball-gathering score from Monte-Carlo simulation. ■ 3-cushion (carom) Five-and-a-half, Plus and Ball system calculators. Path search recognises classic routes such as the long-around and the reverse and recommends them first. ■ Versus mode Two players get different layouts of the same difficulty and see who climbs higher. · Difficulty ladder — 10 levels for 4-ball, 8 for 3-cushion · Handicap match, score race, layout of the day, weak-spot drills · Cumulative record (W-D-L) and best scores ■ And more · Works offline, no ads · Table calibration (cushion / roll) for your own hall · Korean / English

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hello Billiard at none against 3C Score's 1. Hello Billiard also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
