# 1Blocker vs DeniedPixels

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 1Blocker at 13K against DeniedPixels's 46. 1Blocker also leads on device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1Blocker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and DeniedPixels sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for 1Blocker against 4.6 for DeniedPixels. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1Blocker has 13K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of 1Blocker's written reviews are positive against 67% of DeniedPixels's.

1Blocker ships an update every 2 weeks, DeniedPixels every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
