LeadMeNot vs Gamban
Gamban is a gambling blocker: it blocks tens of thousands of gambling sites and apps on all your devices under one licence, with live support. LeadMeNot blocks gambling too, with its built-in Gambling list, and covers porn, social media and any app, site or word you choose, with a partner in the loop.
Choose LeadMeNot if you want protection from more than gambling: porn, social media, and any app, site or word you choose, under one account.
Where Gamban fits better: If gambling is the only thing you want blocked, Gamban is built just for that, with live support and progress tracking (days gamble-free, money saved).
