Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Schedule4 at 4.3 against Block Buddy Pro's 2.8. Schedule4 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). Block Buddy Pro's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and ratings volume (75 vs 12). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Schedule4 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Buddy Pro has 75 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Schedule4's written reviews are positive against 20% of Block Buddy Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Schedule4 ships an update every 9 days, Block Buddy Pro every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
