# Starblind vs Earcade

The clearest difference is ads: Earcade at none against Starblind's shown. Earcade also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Starblind's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Starblind sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Earcade sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Starblind holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Starblind's written reviews are positive against 100% of Earcade's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Starblind ships an update every 5 days, Earcade every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
