Gatekeep

Gatekeep puts a short challenge: math, a word, logic, a memory pattern, or a few slow breaths, between you and the apps you open without thinking. Solve it, and the app unlocks for a set time. When that time's up, it locks again. Pick which apps to gate, how hard the challenge is, and how long each unlock lasts. Gatekeep tracks your streak, shows a countdown on your Lock Screen while unlocked, and gives you stats on what you open and how often. Built on Apple's Screen Time framework. Nothing leaves your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Gatekeep at every 10 days against Health Gateway's every 6 weeks. Health Gateway's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
