# Damage Calculator vs Block Ads

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Damage Calculator at 93% against Block Ads's 19%. Damage Calculator also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 12). Block Ads's advantage is ratings volume (653 vs 36) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Ads sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Damage Calculator asks for nothing beyond the download.
