Block distracting apps and websites so you can focus, be more productive, and build better screen time habits. We've built the world's best app and website blocker, trusted by over 3 million individuals and teams to deliver focused attention for the things that matter most. During a Freedom session, when you attempt to open an app or website on your blocklist, Freedom blocks the app from opening and displays a peaceful green screen - reminding you that you're currently free of that distraction. Freedom users report gaining an average of 2.5 hours of productive time every day. They're more fulfilled, happier with work and family life, and have a healthier relationship with their technology. Schedule a Freedom app blocking session to start automatically when you need it – for complete, seamless control over distractions. Because Freedom works across all your devices, you'll feel confident knowing you're in complete control. We call it mindful productivity. There's no limit to the number of devices (including phones, tablets, and computers) you can connect to Freedom, so you can block apps and websites regardless of where you are or what you're doing. You'll stay focused, productive, and distraction-free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Freedom at 4.5 against Leapmonth's 3.7. Freedom also leads on ratings volume (6.1K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Leapmonth's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 16.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Freedom sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Leapmonth asks for nothing beyond the download.
Freedom holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Freedom has 6.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Freedom's written reviews are positive against 71% of Leapmonth's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Freedom ships an update every 2 weeks, Leapmonth every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
