Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Block Basic sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Art Tiles sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Art Tiles holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 23 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Block Basic's written reviews are positive against 60% of Art Tiles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Block Basic ships an update every 3 weeks, Art Tiles every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 8, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
