Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: EasyMD at freemium against Screen Time Control's subscription. EasyMD also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and device support (3 vs 1). Screen Time Control's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
