ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stackby holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stackby has 42 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Focuster's written reviews are positive against 74% of Stackby's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
