Verdict

The call

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.
