# Blast n Collect vs Gem Drill Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Blast n Collect at 4.2 against Gem Drill Quest's 2.1. Blast n Collect also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (206 vs 10). Gem Drill Quest's advantage is review sentiment (14% vs 6%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blast n Collect sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Gem Drill Quest sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blast n Collect holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blast n Collect has 206 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Blast n Collect's written reviews are positive against 14% of Gem Drill Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Blast n Collect ships an update every 5 days, Gem Drill Quest every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
