# Phoneless vs Fitblock

The clearest difference is ads: Fitblock at none against Phoneless's shown. Fitblock also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (283 vs 12). Phoneless's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phoneless sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Fitblock sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Phoneless holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fitblock has 283 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Phoneless ships an update every 4 weeks, Fitblock every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
