# Verizon Call Filter vs Glance Widgets

The clearest difference is ads: Verizon Call Filter at none against Glance Widgets's shown. Verizon Call Filter also leads on ratings volume (335K vs 84) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.4). Glance Widgets's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Verizon Call Filter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Verizon Call Filter has 335K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Verizon Call Filter's written reviews are positive against 38% of Glance Widgets's.

Verizon Call Filter ships an update every 2 months, Glance Widgets every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
