# HeadBall! vs Creep Shock

The clearest difference is rating: Creep Shock at 4.2 against HeadBall!'s 3.4. Creep Shock also leads on ratings volume (87 vs 5). HeadBall!'s advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 70%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Creep Shock holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Creep Shock has 87 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of HeadBall!'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Creep Shock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

HeadBall! ships an update every 4 months, Creep Shock every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
