Both are free to download. Throw Blocks! sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Socks asks for nothing beyond the download.
Throw Blocks! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Throw Blocks! has 15K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Socks's written reviews are positive against 47% of Throw Blocks!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Socks ships an update monthly, Throw Blocks! every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
