Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Blockario at 4.6 against A Filter's 4.2. Blockario also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). A Filter's advantage is device support. On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. A Filter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Blockario sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Blockario holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 301 and 616 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of A Filter's written reviews are positive against 33% of Blockario's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
