# Flow vs Time Focus

The clearest difference is rating: Flow at 4.8 against Time Focus's 3.0. Flow also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 2) and device support (5 vs 3). Time Focus's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Time Focus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
