# Screen Time Control vs Commit

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Screen Time Control at 77 against Commit's 3. Screen Time Control also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Commit's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Time Control sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Commit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Commit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Time Control has 77 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Screen Time Control's written reviews are positive against 100% of Commit's.
