Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Blockist at 4.5 against Boardspace.net's 3.4. Blockist also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Boardspace.net's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Blockist holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boardspace.net has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Blockist's written reviews are positive against 31% of Boardspace.net's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Blockist ships an update monthly, Boardspace.net every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
