# Smart Sloth vs Focus Space

The clearest difference is rating: Focus Space at 4.6 against Smart Sloth's 4.1. Smart Sloth's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 56%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Sloth sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Focus Space sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Space holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33 and 57 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Smart Sloth's written reviews are positive against 56% of Focus Space'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 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
