# Chip CZ vs Blesk

The clearest difference is rating: Chip CZ at 5.0 against Blesk's 4.5. Chip CZ also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Blesk's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chip CZ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per 3 months and Blesk sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chip CZ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blesk has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Chip CZ's written reviews are positive against 46% of Blesk's.

Chip CZ ships an update every 4 months, Blesk every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
