Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AdBlocker at 4.5 against Ad Blocker ⊘'s 2.4. AdBlocker also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 18 months). Ad Blocker ⊘'s advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and review sentiment (25% vs 11%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ad Blocker ⊘ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and AdBlocker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AdBlocker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 44 and 127 respectively.
