Dull vs FeedLite
FeedLite and Dull use the same filtering architecture. FeedLite covers Instagram and YouTube; Dull also covers Facebook and X. FeedLite costs $9.99/month — 2.5× more than Dull's $3.99/month, for fewer platforms and fewer features. FeedLite does remove social metrics (like counts) which Dull does not.
FeedLite is an iOS filtered browser for Instagram and YouTube. It removes Reels, Shorts, Explore, suggested posts, and social metrics (like counts). It shows a 'Focus Analytics' counter of content you have avoided. There is no free tier and no lifetime plan.

Both FeedLite and Dull work by opening the Instagram and YouTube mobile sites inside a WKWebView browser and injecting CSS and JavaScript that removes Reels, Shorts, and algorithmic feeds before the page renders. The filtering approach is the same. The differences are in scope, features, and price.
FeedLite covers Instagram and YouTube. That is the entire product — two platforms. Dull covers Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and X. For users who also use Facebook (especially Groups and Marketplace) or X (Twitter), FeedLite is a non-option regardless of price.
FeedLite's notable exclusive: it removes social metrics — like counts, view counts — from Instagram. Research suggests that removing quantified social validation reduces some forms of compulsive checking. If this matters to you, FeedLite is the only filtered-browser app that does it.
FeedLite does not have usage tracking, time limits, grayscale mode, friction gates, quiet hours, or a commitment delay. Its "Focus Analytics" shows a count of blocked content — Reels, Shorts, ads — as a form of positive reinforcement ("you avoided 47 Reels today").
Dull has all of the above: usage tracking per platform, daily time limits with hard cutoffs, grayscale mode to desaturate the interface, friction gates (a challenge before opening any platform), quiet hours (scheduled blocks), and commitment delay (24-hour wait before loosening any filter).
FeedLite is $9.99/month or $39.99/year. Dull is $3.99/month or $14.99/year. FeedLite costs 2.5× more per month and 2.7× more per year. There is no FeedLite lifetime plan. Dull has a $59.99 lifetime option.
Neither app has a free tier. Both have trials — Dull has a 7-day free trial; FeedLite has reportedly had trial access but this should be confirmed on their App Store page.
As of April 2026, FeedLite has 1 App Store rating. This limits confidence in the product's trajectory compared to Dull's more active user base and development schedule.
You want 4 platforms instead of 2, plus time limits, grayscale, friction gates, and quiet hours — at 2.5× lower cost. For almost every user, Dull is the better choice.
You only care about Instagram and YouTube, you specifically want social metrics (like counts) removed, you value an extremely simple two-platform UI, and price is not a concern.
