# Nuts & Woods vs Block Codex

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Block Codex at none against Nuts & Woods's 10. Block Codex also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Nuts & Woods's advantage is ratings volume (40K vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nuts & Woods sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Block Codex asks for nothing beyond the download.

Block Codex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nuts & Woods has 40K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
