# FirstBlastit vs Messages

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FirstBlastit at 100% against Messages's 57%. FirstBlastit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Messages's advantage is update cadence (daily vs monthly) and ratings volume (389 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FirstBlastit sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month and Messages sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FirstBlastit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Messages has 389 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of FirstBlastit's written reviews are positive against 57% of Messages's.

FirstBlastit ships an update monthly, Messages daily. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
