# Censor This vs Blur Video

The clearest difference is rating: Blur Video at 4.6 against Censor This's 2.8. Blur Video also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 23%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). Censor This's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Censor This sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Blur Video sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
