The clearest difference is ads: Protect The Tree at none against Mineblast!!'s shown. Protect The Tree also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). Mineblast!!'s advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.6). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Protect The Tree sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Mineblast!! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mineblast!! holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 73 and 153 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Protect The Tree's written reviews are positive against 54% of Mineblast!!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Protect The Tree ships an update every 6 days, Mineblast!! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
