# Peer Chat vs 1Blocker

The clearest difference is rating: 1Blocker at 4.5 against Peer Chat's 3.8. 1Blocker also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 9). Peer Chat's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1Blocker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Peer Chat asks for nothing beyond the download.

1Blocker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1Blocker has 13K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Peer Chat's written reviews are positive against 64% of 1Blocker's.
