The clearest difference is price: My Magic Pass App at Free against Focus Pile's $1.99. My Magic Pass App also leads on ratings volume (364 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.2). Focus Pile's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 2.6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
