Who each one suits
BlockSite
- Blocking the same sites and apps on a phone and in desktop browsers
- People who want to block whole categories of sites in one step
- Students and workers who block on a fixed daily schedule
LeechBlock NG
- People who want a free site blocker inside the browser they already use
- Rationing a site by time allowance rather than blocking it outright
- Users who want fine control with wildcards, keywords and regular expressions
Worth knowing
BlockSite
- The web checkout showed rupee prices on the check date, so the subscription prices here are from the US App Store, which lists several amounts without saying which one applies.
- The privacy policy (last modified July 16, 2026) says browsing data is disclosed to affiliates for their market intelligence services; an opt-out is in the settings.
- Keyword blocking, unlimited category blocking and password protection need Premium, and the iOS app is for iPhone only.
- The homepage advertises a desktop app that blocks across several browsers but does not say which operating systems it runs on.
LeechBlock NG
- It blocks only inside the browser where it is installed; other browsers and desktop apps are unaffected.
- The developer says it is not designed for parental control or for blocking offensive content.
- There is no macOS or iOS version; the site points to ivBlock, a separate product based on LeechBlock.
- The browser may still connect briefly to a blocked site, so the developer suggests a HOSTS-level blocker when no connection at all is wanted.
Key features
BlockSite
- Block List
- Add the sites and apps you want to avoid, and BlockSite keeps them from opening while the list is active. Premium removes the limit on entries.
- Focus Mode
- Blocks distractions for a set amount of time. The Mac listing describes timed work sessions with scheduled breaks.
- Schedule
- Set the days and hours when chosen sites and apps are blocked, so the same routine repeats without being switched on each time.
- Category and keyword blocking
- Block a whole category such as social media or shopping in one step, or any address containing a chosen word. Both are Premium features on iOS.
- Password protection
- A Premium setting that puts a password in front of settings and blocked pages. The site also lists a feature that prevents uninstalling BlockSite.
- Sync across platforms
- The same block list applies on every signed-in device, and one purchase unlocks Premium on Android, iOS, Chrome, Edge and Safari.
LeechBlock NG
- Block sets
- Up to 30 sets of sites, each with its own list, days and times. Lists accept wildcards, exceptions and keywords that match words in a page's title or text.
- Time periods and time limits
- Block within fixed periods such as 9am to 5pm, after a time limit such as 10 minutes in every hour, or with both combined. Unused time can roll over to the next period.
- Lockdown
- Blocks the sites in chosen block sets immediately for a duration you specify, outside their normal schedule.
- Delaying and password pages
- Instead of a plain block, a page can show a countdown before letting you through or ask for a password. A custom blocking page can also be set by URL.
- Access control
- A password or a random access code can guard the options page, to slow down any attempt to change settings in a weak moment.
- Temporary override
- An optional override lifts blocks for a set number of minutes, with a cap on how many overrides are allowed in an hour, day or week.
