# Block Craft 3D vs Mini World

The clearest difference is rating: Block Craft 3D at 4.6 against Mini World's 4.2. Block Craft 3D also leads on ratings volume (889K vs 8.3K) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Mini World's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Craft 3D sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Mini World sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Block Craft 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Craft 3D has 889K ratings behind it against 8.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Block Craft 3D's written reviews are positive against 61% of Mini World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Block Craft 3D ships an update every 4 days, Mini World every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
