# Reset vs Screen Time Control + Blocker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Screen Time Control + Blocker at 100% against Reset's 35%. Screen Time Control + Blocker also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Reset's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reset sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Screen Time Control + Blocker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reset holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reset has 254 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Reset's written reviews are positive against 100% of Screen Time Control + Blocker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Reset ships an update every 3 days, Screen Time Control + Blocker every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
