Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: App/Website Blocker at 88% against AppBlockTimer's 33%. App/Website Blocker also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). AppBlockTimer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
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. App/Website Blocker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. AppBlockTimer asks for nothing beyond the download.
AppBlockTimer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App/Website Blocker has 26 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of AppBlockTimer's written reviews are positive against 88% of App/Website Blocker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AppBlockTimer ships an update every 4 months, App/Website Blocker every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
