# DroneBlocks vs Part 107

The clearest difference is rating: Part 107 at 4.6 against DroneBlocks's 3.4. Part 107 also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 58) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). DroneBlocks's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Part 107 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. DroneBlocks asks for nothing beyond the download.

Part 107 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Part 107 has 1.1K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of DroneBlocks's written reviews are positive against 26% of Part 107's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DroneBlocks ships an update every 2 months, Part 107 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
