Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Block Mage at none against 13 Thieves's 6. Block Mage also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). 13 Thieves's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
