# SpamBlocker vs Chuck

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chuck at 58% against SpamBlocker's 14%. Chuck also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). SpamBlocker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpamBlocker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Chuck sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chuck holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chuck has 15K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of SpamBlocker's written reviews are positive against 58% of Chuck's.

SpamBlocker ships an update every 3 months, Chuck weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
