# BlockStarPlanet vs Block Earth

The clearest difference is ratings volume: BlockStarPlanet at 14K against Block Earth's 2.2K. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BlockStarPlanet sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Block Earth sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for BlockStarPlanet against 4.4 for Block Earth. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlockStarPlanet has 14K ratings behind it against 2.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of BlockStarPlanet's written reviews are positive against 61% of Block Earth's.

BlockStarPlanet ships an update every 2 months, Block Earth monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
