Cape pricing:
free download, Pro at $6.99/yr or $19.99 lifetime

Cape's pricing is among the most affordable in this category on published numbers alone. A free download, a $6.99 annual Pro plan, and a $19.99 lifetime purchase give buyers real flexibility at a low price point.

This page focuses specifically on cost. For the full feature comparison against Fella, see Fella vs Cape. What follows covers the price and the math behind it.

These figures reflect the current US App Store listing as recorded in comparison data. Verify current checkout pricing before purchase, since App Store offers can change.

At $19.99, the lifetime purchase costs roughly 2.9 years of the $6.99 yearly plan. Anyone using Cape for three years or more comes out ahead with lifetime; anyone unsure they'll stick with it long-term is better off starting with the lower-risk yearly plan.

Both options are inexpensive relative to most competitors on this list. Even the yearly plan alone, at $6.99, is a fraction of Fella's $34.99 annual price, which reflects a genuinely different product philosophy, not just a pricing choice.

Cape's feature set centers on reducing use while keeping apps normally available. Daily limits, automatic breaks, personalized pause screens, delayed access, location rules, schedules, and usage reports are all part of the product, whether gated to Pro or included free isn't fully itemized here.

That's a broader toolkit than Fella's single always-on rule. Cape is built around managing use through several allowances and contexts, not blocking access outright before any use begins.

Anyone prioritizing low cost with real configurability. At $6.99 a year or $19.99 for life, Cape is one of the cheapest ways to get daily limits, breaks, and usage reports on iPhone.

People confident they'll use the app for years. The lifetime option is the better long-term value if you expect to keep using Cape past the roughly three-year break-even point.

Less ideal if the app should be closed before any scrolling begins. Cape manages use through limits and delayed access rather than blocking outright, a different philosophy from an always-blocked default, regardless of price.

Worth trying free first regardless of which camp you're in. Because the download itself costs nothing, there's little downside to testing Cape's approach before deciding whether the $6.99 or $19.99 upgrade is worth it for your situation.

Cape is significantly cheaper than Fella on every measure. Fella costs more but sells a different constraint rather than a larger feature set: the app is closed before use, not managed through limits and delayed access.

If price is the deciding factor, Cape is hard to beat here. If the appeal is blocking that doesn't depend on configuring limits, schedules, and contexts, that's specifically what Fella's higher price buys. See how Fella works or Fella's current pricing.
