# 3D Pool Madness vs 321

The clearest difference is ads: 321 at none against 3D Pool Madness's shown. 321 also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 20 months). 3D Pool Madness's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (242 vs 32). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 3D Pool Madness sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 321 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

3D Pool Madness holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Pool Madness has 242 ratings behind it against 32, 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 66% of 321'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, 321 every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
