Focus Space's advantage is ratings volume (57 vs 10) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Timer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Focus Space sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
