# Focusi vs TimePod

The clearest difference is rating: Focusi at 4.4 against TimePod's 2.5. Focusi also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (14 vs 2). TimePod's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 61%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focusi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and TimePod sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focusi holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focusi has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Focusi's written reviews are positive against 77% of TimePod's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Focusi ships an update every 5 weeks, TimePod every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
