# Monkey Flight 2 vs ABC Balloon Pop

The clearest difference is price: ABC Balloon Pop at Free against Monkey Flight 2's $1.99. ABC Balloon Pop also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). Monkey Flight 2's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (36 vs 4). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ABC Balloon Pop is free to download; Monkey Flight 2 costs $1.99 up front. Monkey Flight 2 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. ABC Balloon Pop asks for nothing beyond the download.

Monkey Flight 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monkey Flight 2 has 36 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Monkey Flight 2's written reviews are positive against 100% of ABC Balloon Pop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Monkey Flight 2 ships an update every 7 months, ABC Balloon Pop every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
