THE REAL DIFFERENCEWhat OurPact does vs. what KudoKids does

What OurPact does best

One of the most powerful iOS app-blockers available — uses Apple's official system-level controls so kids cannot just close the app to bypass it. Parents can block or unblock everything in one tap and manage up to 20 devices from one account.

Where it stops short

OurPact is a control tool, full stop. It locks the phone but gives kids nothing good to do with their screen time. Setup is complicated — you need a computer and USB cable just to get started. Android works much worse than iOS. Screenshot monitoring makes many parents uncomfortable. Motivated kids can still delete the iOS profile and walk away free.

Where KudoKids wins

KudoKids does what OurPact cannot: it fills screen time with things that actually help kids grow — games, habits, emotional tools, and earning rewards. OurPact parents are still fighting the same battles every night. KudoKids parents are not, because their kids want to be on the app.

Parent realizes blocking screens is not enough — their kid finds workarounds, or they feel guilty about the constant conflict. They want screen time that actually does something for their child.

Parents like

  • Instant block button gives parents real on-demand control — works better than Apple built-in Screen Time
  • Drag-and-drop schedules are easy to set up for school hours and bedtime
  • Covers up to 20 child devices on one Premium plan — great value for bigger families
  • iOS feature set is genuinely powerful; many parents say it is the one that actually works

Common complaints

  • Setup requires a Mac or Windows computer and a USB cable — many parents give up or struggle for hours
  • iOS profile can be deleted by older or tech-savvy kids, defeating the controls
  • App randomly reorders icons on the child's device, which kids notice
  • Controls can be slow or glitchy — apps sometimes revert to always-allow on their own
“It's decent on iOS, but missing features mean that rivals are better, no matter the platform.” — TechRadar
