Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Block Screen at 89% against Bitcoin Ticker's 20%. Block Screen also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and rating (4.9 vs 2.1). Bitcoin Ticker's advantage is device support (7 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
