Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Step Guard at 5.0 against SuperBlock's 4.4. Step Guard also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 60 months). SuperBlock's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SuperBlock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Step Guard sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Step Guard holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SuperBlock has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
SuperBlock ships an update every 60 months, Step Guard weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
