# Screen Time Limit vs Blocker App

Screen Time Limit and Blocker App both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 58% of Screen Time Limit's written reviews are positive against 33% of Blocker App's. Screen Time Limit also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (43 vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Time Limit sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Blocker App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blocker App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Time Limit has 43 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Screen Time Limit's written reviews are positive against 33% of Blocker App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Screen Time Limit ships an update fortnightly, Blocker App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
