# Tiimo vs Echo Focus

The clearest difference is rating: Tiimo at 4.6 against Echo Focus's 3.0. Tiimo also leads on ratings volume (21K vs 2) and chart position (#150 vs unranked). Echo Focus's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiimo sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.00 per month and Echo Focus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiimo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiimo has 21K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Tiimo's written reviews are positive against 50% of Echo Focus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tiimo ships an update weekly, Echo Focus every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
