Blank Spaces Launcher is free to download; Dumbify costs $4.99 up front. Blank Spaces Launcher sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Dumbify asks for nothing beyond the download.

Blank Spaces Launcher holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blank Spaces Launcher has 8.3K ratings behind it against 207, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Blank Spaces Launcher's written reviews are positive against 46% of Dumbify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
