Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Focusing at 5.0 against This Week's 4.3. Focusing also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). This Week's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
