# Block Puzzle! vs Block Puzzle Box

The clearest difference is ads: Block Puzzle! at none against Block Puzzle Box's shown. Block Puzzle! also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 57%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Block Puzzle Box's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 44) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Puzzle! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Block Puzzle Box sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Block Puzzle Box holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Puzzle Box has 2K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Block Puzzle!'s written reviews are positive against 57% of Block Puzzle Box's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Block Puzzle! ships an update every 5 weeks, Block Puzzle Box every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
