# 100 Balls vs Circle

The clearest difference is ads: 100 Balls at none against Circle's shown. 100 Balls also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 43%) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). Circle's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 1.8K). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 100 Balls sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Circle sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Circle holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.8K and 5.5K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of 100 Balls's written reviews are positive against 43% of Circle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

100 Balls ships an update every 4 weeks, Circle every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
