Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Crystal Balls at none against Crystal Ball Blast's shown. Crystal Balls also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Crystal Ball Blast's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 22 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
