# Block Tower vs Wheel Smash

The clearest difference is rating: Wheel Smash at 4.6 against Block Tower's 2.0. Wheel Smash also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (100K vs 1). Block Tower's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Tower sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Wheel Smash asks for nothing beyond the download.

Wheel Smash holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wheel Smash has 100K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Block Tower's written reviews are positive against 70% of Wheel Smash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Block Tower ships an update every 6 weeks, Wheel Smash fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
