# Unblock Me vs Whittler

The clearest difference is ads: Whittler at none against Unblock Me's shown. Whittler also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Unblock Me's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 11) and chart position (#150 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unblock Me sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Whittler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Unblock Me against 4.9 for Whittler. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unblock Me has 41K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Unblock Me's written reviews are positive against 100% of Whittler's.
