Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FROGBLOCK at 4.8 against Nightgate's 4.2. FROGBLOCK also leads on ratings volume (446 vs 21). Nightgate's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
