# Focus Lock vs Jomo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jomo at 82% against Focus Lock's 23%. Jomo also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 295). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Lock sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Jomo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Jomo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jomo has 2.5K ratings behind it against 295, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 23% of Focus Lock's written reviews are positive against 82% of Jomo's.

Focus Lock ships an update every 2 weeks, Jomo fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
