# Fruit Salad vs Block Blast！

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fruit Salad at none against Block Blast！'s 3. Block Blast！'s advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (2.8M vs 267). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Blast！ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Fruit Salad asks for nothing beyond the download.

Block Blast！ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Blast！ has 2.8M ratings behind it against 267, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Fruit Salad's written reviews are positive against 76% of Block Blast！'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fruit Salad ships an update weekly, Block Blast！ every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
