Fray Block - are you really that special?

Hi Cut out and keepers,
I'm not keen to shell out $14 for a bottle of "Fray Block" - a sloppy clear glue that you apply to stop fraying. I normally use PVA glue or clear nailpolish.
Are there benefits to Fray block that I'm missing out on?
Thanks for any answers!

I don't generally use it- I have it, but the only thing I ever would use it on was ribbons, and I found burning the ends of my ribbons far neater.

I have used Fray Check and it works better than anything else if you're using it on garments, but that's about its only good application.

If it's just for the ends of ribbon or something, I've previously used clear nail polish.
