# Blocks io vs Planet Evolution

The clearest difference is rating: Planet Evolution at 4.8 against Blocks io's 4.0. Planet Evolution also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 19). Blocks io's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planet Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Blocks io asks for nothing beyond the download.

Planet Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planet Evolution has 29K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Blocks io's written reviews are positive against 78% of Planet Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Blocks io ships an update every 4 weeks, Planet Evolution every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
