Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EBlock at 56% against TELUS Business Connect™'s 13%. EBlock also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (28 vs 3). TELUS Business Connect™'s advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TELUS Business Connect™ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EBlock has 28 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of TELUS Business Connect™'s written reviews are positive against 56% of EBlock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TELUS Business Connect™ ships an update every 3 months, EBlock weekly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
