# Okay? vs Blackbox

The clearest difference is ads: Blackbox at none against Okay?'s shown. Blackbox also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (109K vs 14K). Okay?'s advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Okay? sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Blackbox sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Okay? against 4.8 for Blackbox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blackbox has 109K ratings behind it against 14K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 92% and 93% positive.

Okay? ships an update every 5 months, Blackbox every 9 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
