# Crossy Road vs Block Blast！

The clearest difference is update cadence: Block Blast！ at every 3 days against Crossy Road's monthly. Block Blast！ also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (2.7M vs 736K). Crossy Road's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 76%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crossy Road sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Block Blast！ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Block Blast！ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 736K and 2.7M respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Crossy Road's written reviews are positive against 76% of Block Blast！'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Crossy Road ships an update monthly, Block Blast！ every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
