# Study Bunny vs Focus Pet

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Focus Pet at 100% against Study Bunny's 54%. Focus Pet also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Study Bunny's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Study Bunny sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Focus Pet sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Pet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study Bunny has 21K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Study Bunny's written reviews are positive against 100% of Focus Pet's.

Study Bunny ships an update every 3 weeks, Focus Pet every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
