Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Balance Stuff at 4.5 against Cargo King's 4.1. Balance Stuff also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 21). Cargo King's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 45%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Cargo King sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Balance Stuff sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Balance Stuff holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Balance Stuff has 3K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Cargo King's written reviews are positive against 45% of Balance Stuff's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cargo King ships an update every 3 months, Balance Stuff every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
