Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Screen Time Control at none against LIMIT's shown. Screen Time Control also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 57%) and ratings volume (157 vs 22). LIMIT's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
