# Stop Scroll vs App Blocker

The clearest difference is rating: App Blocker at 5.0 against Stop Scroll's 4.3. Stop Scroll's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stop Scroll sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and App Blocker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

App Blocker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stop Scroll has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Stop Scroll ships an update every 2 weeks, App Blocker every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
