# Focus timer vs Study Bunny

Focus timer and Study Bunny both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of Focus timer's written reviews are positive against 54% of Study Bunny's. Focus timer also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Study Bunny's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 1.8K) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Study Bunny sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Focus timer against 4.7 for Study Bunny. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study Bunny has 21K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of Focus timer's written reviews are positive against 54% of Study Bunny's.

Focus timer ships an update every 5 weeks, Study Bunny every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
