# AstroBlast™ vs Goobie Garden

The clearest difference is price: Goobie Garden at Free against AstroBlast™'s $0.29. Goobie Garden also leads on ratings volume (65 vs 1). AstroBlast™'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Goobie Garden is free to download; AstroBlast™ costs $0.29 up front. Goobie Garden sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. AstroBlast™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

AstroBlast™ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Goobie Garden has 65 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of AstroBlast™'s written reviews are positive against 76% of Goobie Garden's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AstroBlast™ ships an update every 3 weeks, Goobie Garden fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
