# Focus Go vs Almost Time

The clearest difference is rating: Focus Go at 4.5 against Almost Time's 3.8. Focus Go also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Almost Time's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and ratings volume (6 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Go sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Almost Time sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Go holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Focus Go's written reviews are positive against 100% of Almost Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Focus Go ships an update fortnightly, Almost Time monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
