# Collapse! Blast vs Five

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Five at 87% against Collapse! Blast's 42%. Five also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Collapse! Blast's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 57). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Collapse! Blast sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Five sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Five holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collapse! Blast has 1.6K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of Collapse! Blast's written reviews are positive against 87% of Five's.

Collapse! Blast ships an update monthly, Five fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
