Is ZenMode OS worth running as a client service?

ZenMode OS offers a low-complexity, Android-only launcher with unique features like feature-level blocking and gold staking, suitable for digital wellness or productivity programs. However, the absence of published paid pricing and white-label capabilities means agencies must model their own service costs and cannot rebrand the product.
