# BirdBlox vs BuildInstruction

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BirdBlox at 50% against BuildInstruction's 0%. BirdBlox also leads on iOS requirement (9.3 vs 14.2). BuildInstruction's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (108 vs 16). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

BuildInstruction holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BuildInstruction has 108 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of BirdBlox's written reviews are positive against 0% of BuildInstruction's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
