Comparison
How IronWill compares
Everyone's comparison page concludes that they win. This one is built so you can check it: every store figure below is read straight from Apple's public listing data and dated, and anything we have not verified ourselves says so instead of guessing.
Where IronWill loses
IronWill is new. Unchaind has 44,599 App Store ratings and Brainbuddy has 26,021; IronWill has 4 there and 629 on Google Play. If a long track record and a large active community are what you want, those apps genuinely have them and we do not. What we offer instead is an app you can start using without making an account, a craving toolkit that works offline, and data that never leaves your phone.

How this table is maintained
App Store figures come from Apple's public lookup API for the US storefront, and Google Play figures from each app's public listing page, both read on 30 October 2026. A rival's Play figure goes in only when that listing's own title and developer line match the app named here — package names are not evidence, and two of the apps we checked have near-namesakes on Play by unrelated developers. Where they did not match, the cell stays Not verified. Capability rows for IronWill are verified against our own app. Capability rows for other apps are only filled in once someone here has confirmed them in the app itself — until then they read Not verified, because an inaccurate claim about someone else's product is worse than an empty cell.

The blocker is the row most of this table turns on, so here is ours: on across every browser, and deciding what to block on the device rather than by sending your browsing anywhere.
