AppBlock

Freedom

AppBlock

Free limits differ by platform: iOS allows 2 schedules and 12 hours of Strict Mode, Android 3 schedules and 24 hours.
Allowlist mode, adult content blocking, backup and the Quick Block timer need Premium on both iOS and Android.
On a computer AppBlock runs only as an extension for Chrome, Edge and Brave; no Mac or Windows app is listed.
The student discount and business licences are arranged through forms, and neither page states a price.

Freedom

Free accounts are limited to Start Now sessions of up to 2 hours; scheduling, recurring sessions and Locked Mode need Premium.
Linux and Chromebook are supported through the browser extension only, and app blocking is not available on Chromebook.
Website exceptions, which allow only the sites you list, work on Mac and Windows only.

AppBlock

App and website blocking: Block apps, websites, specific URLs and keywords. On Android, Premium can also block newly installed apps and browsers the app does not support.
Schedules: Profiles for work, study or sleep switch on by time, day, location or connected Wi-Fi network and then run automatically.
Quick Block: Starts a block right away without a schedule. Free use is capped at 4 hours on iOS or 3 apps and 3 sites on Android; Premium adds a timer.
Strict Mode: Makes blocks harder to bypass, with a cooldown and approval by another person. The free plan caps it at 12 hours on iOS and 24 hours on Android.
Allowlist mode: A Premium mode that blocks everything except a set of chosen apps, which the vendor describes as a dumbphone-like setup.
Browser extensions: Extensions for Chrome, Edge and Brave block websites and keywords on a computer, with Quick Block and Schedules.

Freedom

Website, app and internet blocking: A session can block chosen websites, chosen apps or all internet access. App blocking covers Mac, Windows, iOS and Android but not Chromebook.
Preset and custom blocklists: Start from a preset list of distracting sites and apps or build your own. On Mac and Windows a list can also work in reverse, allowing only the sites you name.
Sessions across devices: One session can include several devices at once, such as a laptop and a phone. Every plan, including Free, allows unlimited devices.
Scheduled and recurring sessions: Premium lets sessions start automatically at a set time and repeat on a schedule. Free accounts can only start a session immediately.
Locked Mode: A Premium setting that prevents a session from being ended before its timer runs out.
Focus sounds: Background audio for a session, with a choice of music and ambient recordings such as cafes, libraries and nature.
