Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MoveLock at none against BlockIt's shown. MoveLock also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%). BlockIt's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 days) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
