Verdict
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.

Both are free to download. Content Blocker+ sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Crumblr asks for nothing beyond the download.
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.
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.
