# Focus Cat App vs Focus Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Focus Quest at 4.7 against Focus Cat App's 3.7. Focus Quest also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 62%) and ratings volume (505 vs 21). Focus Cat App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Cat App sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Focus Quest sells 32 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Quest has 505 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Focus Cat App's written reviews are positive against 83% of Focus Quest's.

Focus Cat App ships an update fortnightly, Focus Quest every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
