# Call Blocker vs Call & Block

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.

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.

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.
