# Blocks Multiplayer vs Block.io

The clearest difference is rating: Blocks Multiplayer at 4.7 against Block.io's 4.1. Blocks Multiplayer also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 44%). Block.io's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (463 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blocks Multiplayer sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Block.io sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
