Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Box Head at 4.8 against AstroBlasters's 4.2. Box Head also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 17) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). AstroBlasters's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 39) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Box Head holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Box Head has 1.5K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of AstroBlasters's written reviews are positive against 66% of Box Head's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AstroBlasters ships an update every 2 months, Box Head monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
