# 3D Pool Madness vs Infinity 8 Ball™

The clearest difference is update cadence: Infinity 8 Ball™ at monthly against 3D Pool Madness's every 20 months. Infinity 8 Ball™ also leads on ratings volume (38K vs 240) and chart position (#36 vs unranked). 3D Pool Madness's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 42%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 3D Pool Madness sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Infinity 8 Ball™ sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Infinity 8 Ball™ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinity 8 Ball™ has 38K 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 42% of Infinity 8 Ball™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

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