# Granny vs Block Scout

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Granny at none against Block Scout's 1. Granny also leads on ratings volume (101K vs 23) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). Block Scout's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Scout sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Granny asks for nothing beyond the download.

Block Scout holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Granny has 101K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Granny's written reviews are positive against 100% of Block Scout's.

Granny ships an update monthly, Block Scout weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
