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. Shoot The Balls sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Knock Balls! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Knock Balls! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Knock Balls! has 211K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Shoot The Balls's written reviews are positive against 46% of Knock Balls!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shoot The Balls ships an update every 9 months, Knock Balls! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
