# BLACKBOOK JOURNAL vs PrivacyHawk

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BLACKBOOK JOURNAL at none against PrivacyHawk's 10. PrivacyHawk's advantage is ratings volume (8.6K vs 5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PrivacyHawk sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. BLACKBOOK JOURNAL asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for BLACKBOOK JOURNAL against 4.6 for PrivacyHawk.

Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of BLACKBOOK JOURNAL's written reviews are positive against 59% of PrivacyHawk's.
