# Helix Stack Jump vs Block Blast！

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Block Blast！ at 2.7M against Helix Stack Jump's 81. Block Blast！ also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Helix Stack Jump's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Helix Stack Jump sells 4 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 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Blast！ has 2.7M ratings behind it against 81, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Helix Stack Jump'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 Stack Jump ships an update fortnightly, Block Blast！ every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
