# Boom Pilot vs Mineblast!!

The clearest difference is rating: Boom Pilot at 4.5 against Mineblast!!'s 4.0. Boom Pilot also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 153). Mineblast!!'s advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 44%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boom Pilot sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Mineblast!! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Boom Pilot holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boom Pilot has 1.4K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Boom Pilot's written reviews are positive against 54% of Mineblast!!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Boom Pilot ships an update every 2 months, Mineblast!! every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
