# TimeFinder vs Focus Timer

The clearest difference is ratings volume: TimeFinder at 1.9K against Focus Timer's 17. TimeFinder also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Focus Timer's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 71%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeFinder sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Focus Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeFinder holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeFinder has 1.9K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of TimeFinder's written reviews are positive against 80% of Focus Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TimeFinder ships an update every 3 days, Focus Timer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
