Kiosk is a browser for people who want control over the web — its display, its content, and what runs on it. KIOSK MODE Real fullscreen, no bars, no distractions. Triple-tap to exit manually — no Guided Access setup, no system prompts. Turn an iPad into a dedicated display for shop windows, trade shows, info points, or a smart-home panel on the wall. DESKTOP MODE True desktop browsing with configurable viewport resolution. Switch user agents (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) with a tap. Sites render the way you want, not the way iOS forces. EDIT ANY PAGE Tap the pencil. The page becomes editable. Change a headline, fix a price, hide a banner, rewrite a sentence. Take a screenshot, share it, save it as an HTML snapshot you can re-open offline. SCRIPTS AND AUTO-RELOAD Run your own JavaScript on the sites you choose, every time they load. Force dark mode, hide cookie banners, add shortcuts — Greasemonkey-compatible, just drop a .js file. Three samples preloaded. Set any page to auto-reload every 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes — great for dashboards and signage that have to stay fresh. SPACES Your bookmarks, history, scripts, snapshots, and per-context settings live in inspectable folders on your device. Open Files.app and there they are. AirDrop a Space to another iPad and your whole setup follows. BUILT FOR LOCAL NETWORKS Self-signed certificates accepted out of the box: home dashboards, routers, staging environments, smart-home panels — they all just work. PRIVACY No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Your bookmarks, history, and scripts live only on your device. Export to JSON anytime. ONE PURCHASE, EVERY DEVICE iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Apple Silicon) with a single purchase. No subscriptions, ever. Under 1 MB. Localized into 40+ languages. Made by one person who uses it every day.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Content Blocker+ at Free against Kiosk's $2.99. Content Blocker+ also leads on ratings volume (214 vs 28) and review sentiment (75% vs 67%). Kiosk's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and rating (4.0 vs 3.8). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Content Blocker+ is free to download; Kiosk costs $2.99 up front. Content Blocker+ sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Kiosk asks for nothing beyond the download.
Kiosk holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Content Blocker+ has 214 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Content Blocker+'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Kiosk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Content Blocker+ ships an update every 3 months, Kiosk every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 20, 2026.
