Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Basketball Stars™ at 4.8 against Flick Dunk's 4.3. Basketball Stars™ also leads on ratings volume (352K vs 165) and chart position (#50 vs unranked). Flick Dunk's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, 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. Basketball Stars™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Flick Dunk sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Basketball Stars™ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Basketball Stars™ has 352K ratings behind it against 165, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Basketball Stars™'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Flick Dunk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Basketball Stars™ ships an update every 3 weeks, Flick Dunk every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
