Sqroll turns screen time into something you earn — by living well. Instead of another app that just blocks you, Sqroll gives your scroll a price: the apps that steal your time open to a shield, not a feed. To get back in, you earn it — and every way in makes you healthier. EARN THROUGH A LIFESTYLE Connect Apple Health and your healthy habits become your fuel: • Real workouts earn scroll time minute-for-minute • A 10,000-step day drops a bonus into your balance • Fall asleep by your target bedtime and wake up to more time Prefer to earn on the spot? Do a few squats — the camera counts your reps, no equipment needed. Unused minutes roll over to tomorrow, so you can bank ahead. STAY IN CONTROL A live budget tank shows exactly where your day is going — calm green to over-the-line red — so you always know where you stand. GROW, DON'T ROT When the itch to scroll hits, micro-learn instead. The Learn feed is the good part of a feed with none of the brainrot: mind-bending facts, cultures from around the world, and book summaries you can finish in minutes. MEET BUN Your accountability pet thrives when you move and fades when you scroll — your habits, made impossible to ignore. GO DEEPER • Deep Focus sessions you can't quit early • Hard Mode — apps stay locked, only real effort unlocks them • Streaks, freezes, and weekly & monthly wrapped reports PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your pose data is processed on-device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BlockSite at 4.2 against Sqroll's 3.0. BlockSite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 2). Sqroll's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 62%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. BlockSite sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Sqroll sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BlockSite holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlockSite has 6.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of BlockSite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sqroll's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BlockSite ships an update fortnightly, Sqroll every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
