Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: mBlock at 152 against 绘玩编程's 2. 绘玩编程's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.1 for mBlock against 3.0 for 绘玩编程. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mBlock has 152 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
mBlock ships an update every 2 months, 绘玩编程 monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
