# Phocus vs bokeh+

The clearest difference is price: Phocus at Free against bokeh+'s $0.99. Phocus also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 34). bokeh+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (11.1 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Phocus is free to download; bokeh+ costs $0.99 up front. Phocus sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. bokeh+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Phocus holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phocus has 6.8K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Phocus's written reviews are positive against 35% of bokeh+'s.
