Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ScourgeBringer at 4.8 against Blobster's 4.0. ScourgeBringer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (484 vs 22). Blobster's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and price ($0.99 vs $5.99). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ScourgeBringer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScourgeBringer has 484 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Blobster's written reviews are positive against 71% of ScourgeBringer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
