# Flexblocks vs Monk Mode

The clearest difference is rating: Monk Mode at 4.8 against Flexblocks's 1.0. Monk Mode also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). Flexblocks's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flexblocks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Monk Mode sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Monk Mode holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monk Mode has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Flexblocks's written reviews are positive against 89% of Monk Mode's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flexblocks ships an update every 10 days, Monk Mode every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 7, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
