# Blur Text vs Censor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Censor at 86% against Blur Text's 25%. Censor also leads on ratings volume (64 vs 1). Blur Text's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blur Text sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Censor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blur Text holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Censor has 64 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Blur Text's written reviews are positive against 86% of Censor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Blur Text ships an update every 3 days, Censor monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
