# Block Tower+ vs Canvas Run

The clearest difference is rating: Canvas Run at 4.5 against Block Tower+'s 3.2. Canvas Run also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 56 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 18). Block Tower+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (43% vs 30%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Canvas Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Block Tower+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Canvas Run holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canvas Run has 35K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Block Tower+'s written reviews are positive against 30% of Canvas Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Block Tower+ ships an update every 56 months, Canvas Run fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
