Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Block Blast! at every 3 days against Hop's every 3 months. Block Blast! also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (2.7M vs 30K). Hop's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 76%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hop sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Block Blast! sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Block Blast! holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Blast! has 2.7M ratings behind it against 30K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Hop's written reviews are positive against 76% of Block Blast!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hop ships an update every 3 months, Block Blast! every 3 days. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
