# PunBall vs Block Blast！

The clearest difference is rating: Block Blast！ at 4.9 against PunBall's 4.2. Block Blast！ also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 37%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). PunBall's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PunBall sells 22 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.
