# Planet Pirates vs Blocky Pirates

The clearest difference is ads: Planet Pirates at none against Blocky Pirates's shown. Planet Pirates also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Blocky Pirates's advantage is ratings volume (122 vs 5). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planet Pirates sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Blocky Pirates sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blocky Pirates holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blocky Pirates has 122 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Planet Pirates's written reviews are positive against 71% of Blocky Pirates's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
