Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Billiards 8 at every 3 weeks against Arcade Monkey's every 8 months. Billiards 8 also leads on ratings volume (63 vs 10). Arcade Monkey's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, review sentiment, 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. Arcade Monkey sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Billiards 8 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Arcade Monkey holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Billiards 8 has 63 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Arcade Monkey's written reviews are positive against 81% of Billiards 8's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Arcade Monkey ships an update every 8 months, Billiards 8 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
