# BlockSite vs Screen Time Blocker

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Time Blocker at 4.6 against BlockSite's 4.2. BlockSite's advantage is ratings volume (6.2K vs 21). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BlockSite sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Screen Time Blocker sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Time Blocker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlockSite has 6.2K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of BlockSite's written reviews are positive against 68% of Screen Time Blocker's.

BlockSite ships an update fortnightly, Screen Time Blocker every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
