Verdict
Rainbow Blocks Lite Edition and Crazy Eights both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Rainbow Blocks Lite Edition's written reviews are positive against 50% of Crazy Eights's. Rainbow Blocks Lite Edition also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Crazy Eights's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 533) and chart position (#157 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crazy Eights sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Rainbow Blocks Lite Edition asks for nothing beyond the download.
Crazy Eights holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crazy Eights has 23K ratings behind it against 533, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Rainbow Blocks Lite Edition's written reviews are positive against 50% of Crazy Eights's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rainbow Blocks Lite Edition ships an update every 2 months, Crazy Eights every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
