Both are free to download. Screen Time Control sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Limit sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Screen Time Control holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 7 respectively.
