Blob io's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 61). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strike.is sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Blob io sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
