# AB Quantum vs Ballistics Report

The clearest difference is rating: AB Quantum at 4.7 against Ballistics Report's 4.2. AB Quantum also leads on chart position (#155 vs unranked) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 343). Ballistics Report's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 45%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AB Quantum sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Ballistics Report sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AB Quantum holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AB Quantum has 2.7K ratings behind it against 343, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of AB Quantum's written reviews are positive against 78% of Ballistics Report's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AB Quantum ships an update fortnightly, Ballistics Report every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
