Screen Grove turns your daily screen-time budget into a single tree. Choose the apps, categories and websites that take up too much of your day, and give yourself a budget. As your time adds up, your tree takes chops and starts to tip over. Go over and it's cut down for the day. Every morning a new tree grows. Yesterday's tree joins the grove behind it, standing if you stayed under budget, or a stump if you didn't. Tap any day in your grove to see how it went. Plant real trees with Grove+. Every good day (a day your tree is still standing at midnight) counts toward a real tree, planted by our partner Veritree as mangroves in Kenya and Brazil, with every planting recorded with GPS and photos. Planter plants a real tree every 5 good days, Grower every 2, and Guardian every single good day. • One screen, one tree. No feeds, no streak pressure, no ads. • Exact numbers from Apple's Screen Time, shown only on your iPhone. • Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. • A notification when your budget is reached. • Budget and app changes start the next day, so today's tree can't be rescued by moving the goalposts. Private by design: no accounts, and your Screen Time data never leaves your phone. With Grove+, only your subscription's transaction ID and the dates of your good days go to our server, to count your trees. Grove+ is a monthly auto-renewing subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TooSoon at none against Screen Grove's 3. TooSoon also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Screen Grove's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
