# AppBlock vs Traders Tracker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Traders Tracker at 100% against AppBlock's 54%. Traders Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). AppBlock's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppBlock sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Traders Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Traders Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppBlock has 6.7K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of AppBlock's written reviews are positive against 100% of Traders Tracker's.

AppBlock ships an update every 5 days, Traders Tracker weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
