Why pick Scoreboard
Scoreboard is free forever, blocks adult websites, and turns putting your phone down into a game with your friends and groups, who see it if you switch tracking off.
LeadMeNot fits better if you want specific apps, websites or keywords blocked on a schedule, on more than an iPhone, with a partner who can be required to approve removing your protections.
