# Study Bunny vs Ultimate Focus

The clearest difference is ads: Ultimate Focus at none against Study Bunny's shown. Ultimate Focus also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 54%) and device support (6 vs 2). Study Bunny's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 183) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Study Bunny sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Ultimate Focus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Study Bunny against 4.6 for Ultimate Focus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study Bunny has 21K ratings behind it against 183, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 54% of Study Bunny's written reviews are positive against 85% of Ultimate Focus's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
