moss vs eero Plus
A $9.99 a month add-on for eero routers: content filters, Wi-Fi schedules and activity history.
Checked 11 November 2026 against eero (Amazon)'s own pages. We make moss, so we have linked every source below.
What eero Plus is
eero Plus is a subscription for eero mesh Wi-Fi routers. It adds content filters, advanced Wi-Fi scheduling and activity history. Profiles and a way to pause a device's access come with eero without the subscription. eero Plus costs $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year and needs eero hardware, Wi-Fi 6 or later. It works at the level of the network: the page we read does not offer blocking of individual apps on an iPhone.
What moss is
moss is an iPhone app that comes with a small physical stone. You choose the apps that distract you, tap your phone on the stone, and those apps stay locked until you tap the stone again. People who live together can link their phones to share schedules and put their phones down at the same time, while each person keeps control of their own phone. Locking is free in the app, the stone is a one-time purchase, and the household features are a paid add-on.
