App Blocking Snitch integrates with iOS Screen Time to block distracting apps when your time limit is reached. Set custom time limits for individual apps, and Snitch automatically locks them when you've used your allocated time. Unlock apps with a simple hold gesture, but your group will see when you do.

Friends67 is a screen time app where your friends approve your extra time. When your daily limit is up, your apps lock. Want more time? Send your friends a selfie and a reason. You've probably tried screen time limits or an app blocker before. The problem is that they're too easy to override, and no one notices when you tap "Ignore Limit" for the 123rd time. So social media wins by default. Friends67 changes that. One friend is enough to change your screen time. HOW IT WORKS Choose the apps you want to limit. Set a daily limit for each one. Invite your friends. When your time is up, your apps lock. Want more time? Send a selfie to your friends. SOFT MODE A selfie is all it takes to get more time. Your friends still see every time you ask. HARDCORE MODE Every request goes to your friends, and one of them has to approve it. No auto-approve. Raising a limit, removing an app or turning hardcore mode off needs a friend's approval too. No switching it off in a weak moment. NO FRIENDS ON FRIENDS67 YET? Start anyway. In soft mode your requests go through on their own. In hardcore mode, send your request as a link and anyone can approve it, no app needed. WHAT YOUR FRIENDS SEE Your selfie, the app, how much time you want and why. Never your screen time stats, and never what you do inside your apps. DAILY LIMITS Set daily limits for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X, Snapchat, games or any other app. Every app has its own limit. Limits reset every day. DOWNTIME Need time to study? Work? Sleep? Create Downtime and keep distracting apps locked at set times. SESSIONS Block apps for the next few hours. Start a session with your friends, your partner or your study group and see who is still locked in. EMERGENCY TOKENS Your friends aren't around and you really need an app? An Emergency Token unlocks it right away. You only get a few each month, so save them for real emergencies. YOUR PROGRESS See your screen time next to what it was before Friends67, app by app, and share your progress with your friends. USE IT FOR Studying for finals without your phone. Cutting down together with your partner. A no social media month with your friends. Staying focused at work. FREE AND PREMIUM Friends67 is free to download and free to start, no account needed. On the free plan, limits pause every evening from 8pm to 1am (except on your first day), and you get 4 sessions and 2 emergency tokens a month. Premium keeps your limits on all evening and gives you unlimited sessions and 6 emergency tokens a month. PRIVACY Friends67 uses Apple's Screen Time API to block your apps. Your detailed usage stays on your iPhone. We never see what you do inside your apps. We never sell your personal data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Friends67 at 5.0 against Snitch's 4.0. Snitch's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (75 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Snitch sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Friends67 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
