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 call

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.
