Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ClickBall at none against Backside Stats's 1. ClickBall also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.1). Backside Stats's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (76 vs 15). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Backside Stats holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backside Stats has 76 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of ClickBall's written reviews are positive against 80% of Backside Stats's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
