# sumZ+ vs Block Buster

The clearest difference is rating: Block Buster at 4.9 against sumZ+'s 4.1. Block Buster also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 53%) and ratings volume (7K vs 834). sumZ+'s advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. sumZ+ sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Block Buster sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Block Buster holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Buster has 7K ratings behind it against 834, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of sumZ+'s written reviews are positive against 84% of Block Buster's.

sumZ+ ships an update every 10 days, Block Buster every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
