# Flow vs Focus Pet

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flow at 86% against Focus Pet's 0%. Flow also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). Focus Pet's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Focus Pet sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Pet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Flow's written reviews are positive against 0% of Focus Pet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
