Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AppBlock at Free against Replicate Pro + Live Streaming's $4.99. AppBlock also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). Replicate Pro + Live Streaming's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 55%). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
AppBlock is free to download; Replicate Pro + Live Streaming costs $4.99 up front. Replicate Pro + Live Streaming sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and AppBlock sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AppBlock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppBlock has 7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Replicate Pro + Live Streaming's written reviews are positive against 55% of AppBlock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Replicate Pro + Live Streaming ships an update every 3 months, AppBlock every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 15, 2026 respectively.
