# Make Me. vs BlockRot

The clearest difference is ads: BlockRot at none against Make Me.'s shown. BlockRot also leads on ratings volume (387 vs 15) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Make Me.'s advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (80% vs 62%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Make Me. sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and BlockRot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BlockRot holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlockRot has 387 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Make Me.'s written reviews are positive against 62% of BlockRot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Make Me. ships an update every 2 days, BlockRot daily. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
