# ImageBlocker vs SPIN Safe Browser

The clearest difference is rating: SPIN Safe Browser at 4.4 against ImageBlocker's 3.3. SPIN Safe Browser also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ImageBlocker sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and SPIN Safe Browser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SPIN Safe Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SPIN Safe Browser has 2.7K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of ImageBlocker's written reviews are positive against 53% of SPIN Safe Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ImageBlocker ships an update every 17 months, SPIN Safe Browser every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
