# Focus Matrix vs Picky Picky

The clearest difference is rating: Picky Picky at 5.0 against Focus Matrix's 4.6. Picky Picky also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Focus Matrix's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Matrix sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Picky Picky sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Picky Picky holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.
