Reform is a private space to follow through on quitting something you've decided you're done with — built for the moments in between, not just the decision itself. Free to start. BLOCK Reform blocks the apps and websites you don't want easy access to, right on your device, using Apple's Screen Time frameworks. Lockdown Mode locks blocking on, so a bad moment can't undo it. (Pro) FIGHT BACK The moment an urge hits, you're not on your own. A dedicated screen is one tap away, built for exactly that moment. Every urge you resist gets counted, right alongside your streak. UNDERSTAND Reform tracks what triggers you and when — so patterns you couldn't see before become obvious, and something you can actually plan around. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no login. Your journal, streak, and check-ins are stored only on your device. We never see them. FREE AND PRO Start free with check-ins, streak and urge tracking, journaling, and core tools. Reform Pro unlocks the full experience, including app and website blocking, Lockdown Mode, trigger insights, and achievements. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Reform Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Monthly: $6.99/month. Annual: $49.99/year. A 7-day free trial may be offered to eligible new subscribers; if not cancelled before the trial ends, your Apple Account will be charged.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reform at 100% against BeFree's 43%. Reform also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). BeFree's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (422 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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. BeFree sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Reform sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reform holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BeFree has 422 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of BeFree's written reviews are positive against 100% of Reform's.
BeFree ships an update every 3 weeks, Reform every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
