Blok helps you reduce screen time by making distractions harder to access. HOW IT WORKS ↓ 1. Choose the apps and websites you want to block 2. Start a Blok session by scanning a product barcode or Blok Card 3. To unBlok, complete the physical action again WHY BLOK WORKS ↓ Most app blockers are too easy to bypass.

With Blok, you can: - Block distracting apps, websites, and categories - Use a product barcode or Blok Card as your physical key - Create focus modes for work, sleep, study, or personal time - Schedule automatic Blok sessions - Take limited breaks without fully giving up - Combine modes for stricter blocking - Track your Blok streak and time Blok'd - Add friends and compare progress in Blok World - See Blok'd status on your Lock Screen with Live Activities Blok is built for people who want a real-world way to reduce doomscrolling, social media overuse, and phone addiction.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Blok at none against Aliver's shown. Blok also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 22%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Aliver's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blok sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Aliver sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Aliver holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 733 and 1.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Blok's written reviews are positive against 22% of Aliver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Blok ships an update every 9 days, Aliver monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
