# Countryballs vs Doomsday

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Doomsday at 100% against Countryballs's 26%. Doomsday also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Countryballs's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 31) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countryballs sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Doomsday sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Doomsday holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countryballs has 1K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 26% of Countryballs's written reviews are positive against 100% of Doomsday's.

Countryballs ships an update daily, Doomsday every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
