Both are free to download. This is Blast! sells 25 one-off in-app purchases. Ice Up asks for nothing beyond the download.
This is Blast! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: This is Blast! has 8.6K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Ice Up's written reviews are positive against 25% of This is Blast!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ice Up ships an update weekly, This is Blast! every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
