Every blocker has the same flaw: a cancel button. When the urge hits, you tap "end session" and you're scrolling again. Bunkr removes the button. LOCKED STAYS LOCKED Pick your apps. Set a duration. That's it — no cancel, no "just five minutes," no talking your way out. The lock ends when the timer ends. EARN YOUR WAY OUT Want out early? Do something real. Push-ups. A picture of the open sky. Make your bed. Find an item and photograph it. Bunkr's AI verifies your proof in seconds — and it refuses fakes. No proof, no unlock. SET IT AND FORGET IT Recurring schedules lock your worst hours automatically — mornings, study blocks, wind-down. A Live Activity on your lock screen shows the countdown. A strict, limited override window exists for real emergencies. It's an exit, not a loophole. HONEST NUMBERS Every completed lock is credited only if you actually held it. Your activity tab shows hours earned, not hours claimed. Streak shields forgive one slip — the stats never lie for you. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No sign-up. Apple's Screen Time framework seals your app data on your device — Bunkr cannot see what you use. Mission photos are verified once and discarded, never stored. No tracking, no ads, ever. BUNKR PRO SUBSCRIPTION Bunkr Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: $29.99 per year with a 3 day free trial, or $5.99 per week. App blocking, AI verified missions and hard lock sessions require an active subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bunkr at 100% against Brainrot's 18%. Bunkr also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Brainrot's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainrot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Bunkr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bunkr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainrot has 23K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Brainrot's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bunkr's.
Brainrot ships an update weekly, Bunkr every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
