# BlockSite vs Sqroll

The clearest difference is rating: BlockSite at 4.2 against Sqroll's 3.0. BlockSite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 2). Sqroll's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 62%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BlockSite sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Sqroll sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BlockSite holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlockSite has 6.3K ratings behind it against 2, 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 Sqroll's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BlockSite ships an update fortnightly, Sqroll every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
