Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Bee Brilliant Blast at none against Star Blast's shown. Bee Brilliant Blast also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (92% vs 76%). Star Blast's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Star Blast sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Bee Brilliant Blast sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bee Brilliant Blast holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bee Brilliant Blast has 5K ratings behind it against 564, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Star Blast's written reviews are positive against 92% of Bee Brilliant Blast's.
Star Blast ships an update every 9 days, Bee Brilliant Blast every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
