Frequently asked questions
Is Cold Turkey a one-time purchase?
Yes. When we checked, Cold Turkey Blocker Pro was a one-time purchase of $39 to $45 depending on your country, covering all the computers you personally use, with a 30-day refund.
Can ZenTab block apps like Cold Turkey?
No. ZenTab works inside Chrome. If you need to block desktop apps or games, Cold Turkey is the better tool.
Is ZenTab as hard to bypass?
Less so, because any browser extension can be removed. ZenTab's Strict Mode, Nuclear mode and 30-minute adult-protection lock slow you down in a weak moment, which is often enough.
