Just checking social media — and suddenly an hour’s gone by? BSpace gently reminds you to pause at intervals you choose — for example, every 3–5 minutes — helping you notice when a quick check turns into endless scrolling. Take a breath, then decide whether to continue. Daily limits and work or sleep schedules help you set additional boundaries. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Block the apps you keep opening and scroll less. FocusHound locks them on your schedule or with one tap, your hound stands guard, and a break costs a walk with him. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that pull you in: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, games, anything. Keep the ones you need. 2. Set schedules for work, evenings and bedtime, and blocking starts and stops on its own. Or tap once to focus right now. 3. Your hound guards those apps until the time is up, then celebrates when you finish. BREAKS COST A WALK Need a break? Walk your hound for 5 minutes (400 steps) and your apps open for 10. Or take five slow breaths for 5. STRICT WHEN YOU NEED IT End a session early with a long press, or turn on Strict and it runs to the end. BLOCKS THAT HOLD FocusHound runs on Apple's Screen Time, so your apps stay locked even when FocusHound is closed. PRIVATE Your list of blocked apps and websites stays on your phone. SUBSCRIPTION FocusHound requires a subscription after a free trial for eligible new subscribers. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Questions? hello@focushound.app Privacy Policy: https://focushound.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://focushound.app/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: App Blocker at every 3 days against BSpace's every 2 weeks. App Blocker also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
