# Helix Paint Ball vs Block Blast！

The clearest difference is update cadence: Block Blast！ at every 3 days against Helix Paint Ball's every 2 months. Block Blast！ also leads on ratings volume (2.7M vs 327) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Helix Paint Ball's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Helix Paint Ball sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Block Blast！ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Block Blast！ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Blast！ has 2.7M ratings behind it against 327, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Helix Paint Ball's written reviews are positive against 76% of Block Blast！'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Helix Paint Ball ships an update every 2 months, Block Blast！ every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
