Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Call Blocker at 4.5 against Call & Block's 3.8. Call Blocker also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 4). Call & Block's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Call Blocker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Call & Block sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Call Blocker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Call Blocker has 1.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Call Blocker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Call & Block's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Call Blocker ships an update monthly, Call & Block every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
