# Focus Matrix vs Hervie

The clearest difference is ads: Hervie at none against Focus Matrix's shown. Hervie also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Focus Matrix's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 Hervie sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hervie holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Matrix has 1.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
