Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ThymeBlock at 100% against Thrive's 32%. ThymeBlock also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8). Thrive's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
