Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pong Rally at 5.0 against HeadBall!'s 3.4. Pong Rally also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 months). HeadBall!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
