Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Blokshot Evolution at Free against Space Borders's $1.99. Blokshot Evolution also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). Space Borders's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Space Borders holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Borders has 167 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Space Borders's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blokshot Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Space Borders ships an update every 2 months, Blokshot Evolution every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
