Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ballistic Baseball at 4.6 against Judge!'s 3.0. Ballistic Baseball also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Judge!'s advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 37%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ballistic Baseball holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ballistic Baseball has 22K ratings behind it against 410, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Judge!'s written reviews are positive against 37% of Ballistic Baseball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Judge! ships an update every 5 months, Ballistic Baseball every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
