# Ball King vs Perfect Dunk Shot

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Ball King at 2K against Perfect Dunk Shot's 49. Ball King also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Perfect Dunk Shot's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ball King sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Perfect Dunk Shot sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ball King holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ball King has 2K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two.
