# TENS! vs Slide Blocks

TENS! and Slide Blocks both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 61% of TENS!'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Slide Blocks's. TENS! also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 6). Slide Blocks's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TENS! sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days and Slide Blocks sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Slide Blocks holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TENS! has 20K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of TENS!'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Slide Blocks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TENS! ships an update every 4 months, Slide Blocks daily. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
