JumpScroll's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Time Control sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and JumpScroll sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Time Control holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JumpScroll has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
