# This Week vs Focusing

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.

Both are free to download. This Week sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Focusing sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focusing holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: This Week has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

This Week ships an update every 3 weeks, Focusing every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and July 28, 2026 respectively.
