Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cell BloX at none against U Blocks's shown. Cell BloX also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). U Blocks's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
