Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Bouncing Ball at none against Ball Action's shown. Bouncing Ball also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 39%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Ball Action's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bouncing Ball sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ball Action sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ball Action holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ball Action has 38K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Bouncing Ball's written reviews are positive against 39% of Ball Action's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bouncing Ball ships an update every 7 months, Ball Action monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
