Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Block at none against Thieves Block's 1. Block also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Thieves Block's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
