# Flow vs Focus Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Flow at 4.8 against Focus Quest's 4.2. Flow also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 5) and device support (5 vs 3). Focus Quest's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). 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 Quest sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow has 1.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
