Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alien SpaceCraft at 100% against Hide Ball's 40%. Alien SpaceCraft also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Hide Ball's advantage is price (Free vs $0.69) and rating (4.8 vs 2.0). On in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hide Ball holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hide Ball has 14K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Alien SpaceCraft's written reviews are positive against 40% of Hide Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Alien SpaceCraft ships an update every 37 months, Hide Ball every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
