# Mouse ! vs Move the Block

The clearest difference is rating: Move the Block at 4.7 against Mouse !'s 4.2. Move the Block also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 100) and review sentiment (92% vs 82%). Mouse !'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mouse ! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Move the Block sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Move the Block holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Move the Block has 1.8K ratings behind it against 100, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Mouse !'s written reviews are positive against 92% of Move the Block's.

Mouse ! ships an update every 2 weeks, Move the Block every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
