# Goals vs Solid Focus Timer

The clearest difference is ads: Solid Focus Timer at none against Goals's shown. Solid Focus Timer also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 65%). Goals's advantage is ratings volume (264 vs 16) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Goals holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Goals has 264 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Goals's written reviews are positive against 78% of Solid Focus Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Goals ships an update every 9 days, Solid Focus Timer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
