# Flora vs Distraction Monster

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Flora at 83K against Distraction Monster's 1. Flora also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.5). Distraction Monster's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flora sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Distraction Monster sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Distraction Monster holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flora has 83K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Flora ships an update fortnightly, Distraction Monster every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
