# Sonic Dash Run vs Block Blast！

The clearest difference is update cadence: Block Blast！ at every 3 days against Sonic Dash Run's every 3 weeks. Block Blast！ also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (2.7M vs 418K). Sonic Dash Run's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 76%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sonic Dash Run sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Block Blast！ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Block Blast！ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Blast！ has 2.7M ratings behind it against 418K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Sonic Dash Run's written reviews are positive against 76% of Block Blast！'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sonic Dash Run ships an update every 3 weeks, Block Blast！ every 3 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
