# Block Match vs Block Puzzles

Block Match and Block Puzzles both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Block Puzzles's written reviews are positive against 48% of Block Match's. Block Puzzles also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Block Match's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (824 vs 66). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Match sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Block Puzzles sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Match has 824 ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 48% of Block Match's written reviews are positive against 100% of Block Puzzles's.
