Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AdBlocker at 4.2 against Adblock Scanner Pro's 3.3. AdBlocker also leads on ratings volume (90 vs 3). Adblock Scanner Pro's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. AdBlocker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Adblock Scanner Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AdBlocker holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AdBlocker has 90 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of AdBlocker's written reviews are positive against 50% of Adblock Scanner Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AdBlocker ships an update monthly, Adblock Scanner Pro every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
