Set practical Screen Time boundaries on your own iPhone or iPad, or on a child’s device. Apae offers two kinds of rules: weekly schedules and daily limits. Choose For Myself or For a Child, review how Apae uses Screen Time, confirm with Apple, then choose the apps each rule covers. Schedules: Choose apps, weekdays, and a start and end time. While a schedule is active, the chosen apps are restricted. Overnight and overlapping schedules are supported. Daily limits: Give a group of apps a shared daily allowance. When it is used up, those apps are restricted until the daily reset. Choose to stop for the day or allow a bounded amount of extra time. In child mode, a parent approves extra time on this device with a PIN. In self mode, you can add extra time yourself. A warning threshold updates the status in Apae; it does not send a notification. Restricted apps can’t be used while a rule applies, and become available again automatically when no rule covers them. Today view: See how many apps are restricted now, when the next change happens, and how each daily limit is doing. Control each rule: Turn a schedule or daily limit on or off and edit the apps it covers. Turning one rule off does not lift a restriction that another active rule still applies. Self setup works with a regular Apple Account; you can revoke access or delete Apae at any time. Child setup requires a child Apple Account in Family Sharing and adds a read-only child home, a local parent PIN, and standard Screen Time app-removal protection. Your rules stay on this device. No Apae account, server, or cloud sync is required. Choose individual apps or a category; a category adds the apps currently in it. Websites are not supported. System callbacks can be delayed, so timing is not exact to the second. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Zal at every 9 days against Apae's every 3 months. Zal also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
