# Structured vs Focus Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Structured at 4.8 against Focus Timer's 4.3. Structured also leads on ratings volume (166K vs 17) and chart position (#92 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Structured sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Focus Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Structured holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Structured has 166K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Structured's written reviews are positive against 80% of Focus Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
