# Jomo vs Screen Time Control

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Jomo at 2.5K against Screen Time Control's 15. Screen Time Control's advantage is review sentiment (98% vs 82%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jomo sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Screen Time Control sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Jomo against 4.7 for Screen Time Control. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jomo has 2.5K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two.
