# Focuster vs OmniFocus 4

The clearest difference is rating: OmniFocus 4 at 4.0 against Focuster's 3.7. OmniFocus 4 also leads on ratings volume (344 vs 6) and device support (5 vs 3). Focuster's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 52%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focuster sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and OmniFocus 4 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OmniFocus 4 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OmniFocus 4 has 344 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 52% of OmniFocus 4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
