# Screen Time Control vs Resist Together

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Time Control at 5.0 against Resist Together's 3.0. Resist Together's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Time Control sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Resist Together sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Time Control holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Screen Time Control's written reviews are positive against 100% of Resist Together's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
