Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Crumblr at none against Content Blocker+'s 5. Crumblr also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Content Blocker+'s advantage is ratings volume (215 vs 19) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crumblr holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Content Blocker+ has 215 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Content Blocker+'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Crumblr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Content Blocker+ ships an update every 3 months, Crumblr every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
