Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Blokshot Evolution is free to download; Space Borders costs $1.99 up front. Space Borders sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Blokshot Evolution sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
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.
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.
