# Blue Attack! vs AstroBlast™

The clearest difference is price: Blue Attack! at Free against AstroBlast™'s $0.29. Blue Attack! also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 76%) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). AstroBlast™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Blue Attack! is free to download; AstroBlast™ costs $0.29 up front. Blue Attack! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. AstroBlast™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

AstroBlast™ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blue Attack! has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Blue Attack!'s written reviews are positive against 76% of AstroBlast™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Blue Attack! ships an update every 4 months, AstroBlast™ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
