# True Mirror! vs BlockSite

The clearest difference is rating: BlockSite at 4.2 against True Mirror!'s 2.4. BlockSite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). True Mirror!'s advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. True Mirror! sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and BlockSite sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BlockSite holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlockSite has 6.2K ratings behind it against 196, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of True Mirror!'s written reviews are positive against 61% of BlockSite's.

True Mirror! ships an update every 2 months, BlockSite fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
