# iSoftBox vs Blink

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iSoftBox at none against Blink's 5. iSoftBox also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Blink's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blink sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. iSoftBox asks for nothing beyond the download.

Blink holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iSoftBox has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iSoftBox's written reviews are positive against 67% of Blink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iSoftBox ships an update every 5 weeks, Blink every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
