Verdict

Both are free to download. BlockMaker 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CraftBook asks for nothing beyond the download.
BlockMaker 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlockMaker 3D has 336 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of CraftBook's written reviews are positive against 8% of BlockMaker 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CraftBook ships an update every 4 days, BlockMaker 3D weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
