# Intro vs Deep Focus Noise & Timer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Deep Focus Noise & Timer at 100% against Intro's 67%. Deep Focus Noise & Timer also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (26 vs 4). Intro's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Intro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $30.00 per year and Deep Focus Noise & Timer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Intro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deep Focus Noise & Timer has 26 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Intro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Deep Focus Noise & Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Intro ships an update monthly, Deep Focus Noise & Timer weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
