# Block Earth vs MODBOX

The clearest difference is rating: MODBOX at 4.7 against Block Earth's 4.4. MODBOX also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 61%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Block Earth's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 406). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Earth sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and MODBOX sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MODBOX holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Earth has 2.2K ratings behind it against 406, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Block Earth's written reviews are positive against 76% of MODBOX's.

Block Earth ships an update monthly, MODBOX every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
