I like KYA because it's FOSS, does exactly what it is intended to do (no more, no less), and the interface is intuitive and easy to use.

KeepingYouAwake: FOSS

Amphetamine: free (open-source?). Feature-rich, making it the best of all.

Theine: $4

Caffeinated: $4. Both are fancy version of KYA.

Lungo: $3. The worst of all, but has animated icon.
