Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Block Screen at Free against Bitcoin Notify's $0.99. Block Screen also leads on ratings volume (40 vs 3). Bitcoin Notify's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
