Both are free to download. 3D Pool Madness sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ultimate 8 Ball Pool sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ultimate 8 Ball Pool holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ultimate 8 Ball Pool has 7.9K ratings behind it against 240, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of 3D Pool Madness's written reviews are positive against 57% of Ultimate 8 Ball Pool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

3D Pool Madness ships an update every 20 months, Ultimate 8 Ball Pool every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
