Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Block Trainer at none against Puzzle Geek's 1. Block Trainer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). Puzzle Geek's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
