# Focus Tomato vs Study Bunny

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Focus Tomato at 95% against Study Bunny's 54%. Focus Tomato also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Study Bunny's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 1.7K) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Tomato sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Study Bunny sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Tomato holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study Bunny has 21K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of Focus Tomato's written reviews are positive against 54% of Study Bunny's.

Focus Tomato ships an update monthly, Study Bunny every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
