# eBlocker vs Pi

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pi at 88% against eBlocker's 0%. Pi also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). eBlocker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pi sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. eBlocker asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pi holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pi has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of eBlocker's written reviews are positive against 88% of Pi's.
