# WorkTime vs Focus Task

The clearest difference is update cadence: WorkTime at every 3 weeks against Focus Task's every 6 months. WorkTime also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 51). Focus Task's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkTime sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Focus Task sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for WorkTime against 4.4 for Focus Task. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 4.7K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two.
