Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tigerball at none against Sling Kong's shown. Tigerball also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Sling Kong's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 1.4K). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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. Sling Kong sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tigerball sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Sling Kong against 4.6 for Tigerball. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sling Kong has 19K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Sling Kong's written reviews are positive against 92% of Tigerball's.
Sling Kong ships an update every 5 weeks, Tigerball monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
