Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CPS Focus holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OptionC Parent has 44 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 4% of OptionC Parent's written reviews are positive against 0% of CPS Focus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
