Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: A at none against OffBlock's 4. A also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). OffBlock's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
