# FocusTimer vs Milki

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FocusTimer at none against Milki's 3. FocusTimer also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Milki's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (107 vs 27). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Milki sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per year. FocusTimer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Milki holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 107 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of FocusTimer's written reviews are positive against 97% of Milki's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FocusTimer ships an update every 8 days, Milki fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
