# AANA Journal vs BLOCKJOCKS

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AANA Journal at none against BLOCKJOCKS's 2. AANA Journal also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 16.6). BLOCKJOCKS's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (96 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BLOCKJOCKS sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. AANA Journal asks for nothing beyond the download.

AANA Journal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BLOCKJOCKS has 96 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of AANA Journal's written reviews are positive against 85% of BLOCKJOCKS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AANA Journal ships an update every 13 months, BLOCKJOCKS every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
