ZenTab vs BlockSite
At a glance
Where BlockSite is better
- Phone apps that block apps and sites on iPhone and Android.
- One blocklist synced across your phone and computer.
- Keyword and category blocking, so new sites in a category are caught too.
Where ZenTab is better
- $10 once instead of a yearly subscription.
- The free plan blocks 10 sites with no time limit.
- Feed Eraser keeps YouTube search but hides Shorts and the home feed, instead of all-or-nothing.

- Works without an account.

Frequently asked questions
Is BlockSite free?
BlockSite has a free plan with limited blocking. Unlimited blocking, schedules and password protection are part of its Premium subscription, listed at $33.50 a year on blocksite.co when we checked.
Can ZenTab block apps on my phone like BlockSite?
No. ZenTab is a Chrome extension. For phones, its free guide sets up a network filter that blocks adult sites on every app, but it doesn't block individual apps like Instagram.
Can I move my BlockSite list to ZenTab?
Add the sites to ZenTab's Site Blocker, or switch on its ready-made packs: social media, video, news, shopping and gaming.
