Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HolyScrolls at 100% against BlockSite's 62%. BlockSite's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 4) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BlockSite sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and HolyScrolls sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BlockSite holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlockSite has 6.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of BlockSite's written reviews are positive against 100% of HolyScrolls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BlockSite ships an update fortnightly, HolyScrolls every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
