Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 番茄ToDo at 4.9 against Focusing's 4.4. 番茄ToDo also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (4.8K vs 58). Focusing's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. 番茄ToDo sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Focusing sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

番茄ToDo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 番茄ToDo has 4.8K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of 番茄ToDo's written reviews are positive against 90% of Focusing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

番茄ToDo ships an update every 2 weeks, Focusing every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
