Quiet Screen is a simple screen time enforcement app for parents. Block or unblock any app on your child's device to end screen time, right from your phone. HOW IT WORKS Quiet Screen runs on two Apple devices, a Parent and Child device, paired with a code. Choose the apps you want to block on your child's device, and then you can block or unblock right from the parent's device. A blocked app will display a dark screen. No accounts, no sign-ups, no password for anyone to forget. QUIET SCREEN FREE Manually block and unblock any app on your child's device QUIET SCREEN PLUS Quiet Screen Plus unlocks automated screen time enforcement: Consistently end screen time around your schedule, without having to remember. Create custom Routines that fit your child's schedule and screen time rules. Schedule a Routine to block all apps every day shortly before bedtime, or block only certain apps during school hours.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Trend Micro Mobile Security at 29K against Quiet Screen's 5. Trend Micro Mobile Security also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.4).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Trend Micro Mobile Security sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Quiet Screen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Quiet Screen holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trend Micro Mobile Security has 29K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
