Both are free to download. Float Hub sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Blast Off asks for nothing beyond the download.
Float Hub holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Float Hub has 26 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Float Hub's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blast Off's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Float Hub ships an update fortnightly, Blast Off every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
