Comparisons

How Sisa compares with other screen-time apps.

• Opal alternatives for iPhone, compared

  The main Opal alternatives on iPhone are ScreenZen (free, adds a pause before apps open), one sec (a breathing pause before apps open), Jomo (rules and stats, with a free tier), Brick (a physical device you tap to lock apps, no subscription), Clearspace (a pause with exercises, with a paid friends feature) and Sisa (free plan, built around a small circle of friends). iPhone's own Screen Time is also free. Which fits depends on whether you want a pause, a hard block or other people involved.
