Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gem Blast at 4.7 against Line Puzzle's 4.4. Gem Blast also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 71%). Line Puzzle's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 909) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Gem Blast sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Line Puzzle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Gem Blast holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Line Puzzle has 12K ratings behind it against 909, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Gem Blast ships an update monthly, Line Puzzle fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
