# Cup Blitz vs Marbles vs. Keeper

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Marbles vs. Keeper at 76% against Cup Blitz's 35%. Cup Blitz's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cup Blitz sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Marbles vs. Keeper sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cup Blitz holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cup Blitz has 1.4K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Cup Blitz's written reviews are positive against 76% of Marbles vs. Keeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cup Blitz ships an update monthly, Marbles vs. Keeper every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
