LeadMeNot vs Truple
Truple is screenshot accountability: it captures your screen at random, and right away when a bad site or app opens, and sends reports and alerts. LeadMeNot doesn't take screenshots. It blocks the apps, sites and words you choose, and tells your partner when a rule is broken.
Choose LeadMeNot if you'd rather block things before they load than have screenshots taken, and want Safe Wall so a weak moment can't undo your rules.
Where Truple fits better: If you want your partner to see screenshots of what was on screen, images included, Truple is built around exactly that.
