SiteKeeper

A BlockSite alternative that shows the time first

BlockSite is a mass-market blocker: about 1,000,000 users on the Chrome Web Store (October 2026), 4.5★ from 32.4K ratings, version 7.1.1 (updated July 26, 2026). The listing includes schedules, a password, Focus Mode, redirects, and sync to Android and iOS. SiteKeeper starts from the log. It records the active Chrome tab, scores the day, and lets you set a daily cap and a weekly cap per site. The block is soft. If you need a lock you cannot click past, BlockSite is the stronger tool.

TL;DR

BlockSite is for people who want a block list, Schedule Mode, password protection, uninstall prevention, and the same list on a phone. SiteKeeper is for people who want to see time on every site, then cap the ones that run long — daily and weekly — with path analysis and a 0–100 score. Annual Pro ($24.99) and Lifetime ($29.99) cost less than BlockSite’s published $33.50 year and $49.90 lifetime price. Monthly Pro costs more over a full year. SiteKeeper also gives up the password, the phone apps, and the hard schedule. Pick BlockSite for the lock. Pick SiteKeeper for the record plus a nudge.

How SiteKeeper and BlockSite actually differ

A block list versus a time log

BlockSite’s store listing leads with a custom blocklist, Schedule Mode, a password, and Usage Limit. Usage Limit is a daily cap: once it is hit, the site stays blocked for the rest of the day. Insights covers browsing trends and categories. We do not have a finer public breakdown of that Insights view.

SiteKeeper records the active tab on every site before you decide what to cap. Tags are assigned on device when Chrome’s built-in model is available, with a keyword fallback, and you can set them yourself. An optional signed-in batch classify exists. Tags do not block a category. Limits are per host. Reports and charts stay in the extension. On Sunday the weekly report can open on its own. There is no email report. CSV export is included. Path analysis is off until you turn it on for a host.

Locks SiteKeeper does not have

BlockSite lists password protection, uninstall prevention, a custom block page, adult-content blocking, site redirect, and Focus Mode (a Pomodoro). It also syncs blocked sites, keywords, and the password to the Android and iOS apps. The help center says only the Adult category is included for free; other categories need Premium. We will not guess a free-site count, because their pages do not publish one.

SiteKeeper has none of that lock set. No password, no uninstall block, no keyword block, no redirect, no Pomodoro, no in-page hiding. When the cap hits, you get “Time's Up!” and you can add 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. That adds to the saved cap. You can also turn the limit off or disable the extension. If a child or a determined self can undo it, BlockSite’s password and uninstall prevention are the features you came for.

Schedules versus time windows

BlockSite Schedule Mode is scheduled blocking. The pricing page bundles automated scheduled sessions with the $33.50 annual plan. The landing page says the free plan has no scheduling.

SiteKeeper time windows are extra budgets on chosen days and hours, for example a tighter cap on weekday afternoons. Being inside the window does not by itself block the site. Outside the window, the daily and weekly caps still apply. There is no cross-midnight window. This is not Schedule Mode.

Price, if Chrome is the only device

The pricing page lists an annual subscription at $33.50 for unlimited site and app blocking and automated scheduled sessions. A landing page lists Lifetime Premium at $49.90, and describes Free as limited blocking (sites and apps), manual usage only, 1 device, and no scheduling. The help center says only the Adult category is included for free; other categories need Premium. SiteKeeper Pro $4.99/mo or $24.99/yr, and Lifetime $29.99 once. On those published numbers, a year of SiteKeeper Pro ($24.99) is less than BlockSite’s $33.50 annual plan, and Lifetime ($29.99) is less than the $49.90 landing-page license. Twelve months of monthly Pro is $59.88, which is more than $33.50.

That comparison only holds if you do not need phone apps, app blocking, or a password. StayFocusd’s Chrome and Edge extension is free if the job is a browser lock and you do not need BlockSite’s mobile sync. Paying SiteKeeper for a lock you can click through is a bad trade.

Why people look for a BlockSite alternative

You want the hours, not only the wall

A block list answers “stop this site.” It does not answer “where did the afternoon go?” SiteKeeper tracks every active tab, then lets you cap the hosts that show up.

Weekly caps, not only today’s remainder

BlockSite Usage Limit, as listed, is a daily cap that holds for the rest of the day. SiteKeeper can also set a Monday–Sunday cap on the same site. Weekly limits are not held back for Pro.

Same site, different paths

Path analysis is opt-in per host, so you can separate a docs URL from a feed on one domain. Free covers 3 hosts. A path tree is not in the feature list we checked.

A lower price if you never leave Chrome

Annual Pro is $24.99, against BlockSite’s published $33.50 year. Lifetime is $29.99, against a landing page that lists $49.90. Monthly Pro is $4.99, or $59.88 over twelve months, which is more than $33.50. The lower annual and lifetime prices buy a Chrome-only soft cap, not BlockSite’s lock or phone apps.

Which should you use?

Choose SiteKeeper if

  • You want a log of every site before you write limits
  • You want per-site daily and weekly caps you can still extend
  • You want a 0–100 productivity score, tags, and path analysis
  • Chrome is the only device you are trying to change, and a soft block is enough

Choose BlockSite if

  • You want a password and uninstall prevention
  • You want Schedule Mode that blocks on a clock, including on the paid plan
  • You want Focus Mode, keyword blocking, redirects, or category blocks
  • You want the block list on Android and iOS, or a store listing in 17 languages

Switching from BlockSite

SiteKeeper cannot import a BlockSite list. Copy hosts by hand. Schedules, passwords, keywords, and redirects have no equivalent.

What you can take with you

  • The site hostnames you still want to cap. Each one becomes its own SiteKeeper limit. Free accounts can save limits on up to 6 hosts.
  • A daily Usage Limit number, as a starting point for a SiteKeeper daily cap. Behavior changes: SiteKeeper lets you add minutes, which raises the cap.
  • Nothing from the phone apps. SiteKeeper has no Android or iOS app, and it does not sync limits to another device.

What you set up again

  • Weekly caps, if you want a Monday–Sunday budget in addition to the day.
  • Time windows for a tighter weekday budget. They are not BlockSite Schedule Mode.
  • Tags and path analysis. A path tree is not in the BlockSite feature list we checked. History starts when SiteKeeper is installed.

Install SiteKeeper, recreate the few sites that actually need a cap, and keep BlockSite installed until you trust a week of data. Then remove it. There is no white-glove import.
