# Total Adblock vs X

The clearest difference is rating: X at 5.0 against Total Adblock's 4.0. X also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). Total Adblock's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Total Adblock sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and X sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

X holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Total Adblock has 43K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Total Adblock ships an update every 2 months, X fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
