# Flipd vs Focus & Pomodoro Timer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Focus & Pomodoro Timer at 85% against Flipd's 49%. Focus & Pomodoro Timer also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Flipd's advantage is ratings volume (7K vs 102) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flipd sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Focus & Pomodoro Timer sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
