# YPT vs Focus Pot

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Focus Pot at 100% against YPT's 56%. Focus Pot also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). YPT's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. YPT sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Focus Pot sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Pot holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YPT has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of YPT's written reviews are positive against 100% of Focus Pot's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
