# Block 'n Strike vs Smashdom

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Block 'n Strike at none against Smashdom's 10. Block 'n Strike also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (80% vs 67%). Smashdom's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (473 vs 43). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smashdom sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Block 'n Strike asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smashdom holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smashdom has 473 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Block 'n Strike's written reviews are positive against 67% of Smashdom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
