# Planet Crusher vs BOWBLITZ

The clearest difference is rating: BOWBLITZ at 4.8 against Planet Crusher's 4.4. BOWBLITZ also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Planet Crusher's advantage is chart position (#154 vs unranked) and review sentiment (46% vs 36%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planet Crusher sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and BOWBLITZ sells 36 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BOWBLITZ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1K and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Planet Crusher's written reviews are positive against 36% of BOWBLITZ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Planet Crusher ships an update every 2 weeks, BOWBLITZ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
