# SpamBlocker vs Trimbox

The clearest difference is rating: Trimbox at 4.7 against SpamBlocker's 2.8. Trimbox also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 14%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). SpamBlocker's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpamBlocker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Trimbox sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.19 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Trimbox holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trimbox has 5.9K 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 52% of Trimbox's.

SpamBlocker ships an update every 3 months, Trimbox every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
