# Focus Quest vs To

The clearest difference is rating: Focus Quest at 4.7 against To's 3.8. Focus Quest also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and ratings volume (506 vs 82). To's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Quest sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and To sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Quest has 506 ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Focus Quest's written reviews are positive against 50% of To's.

Focus Quest ships an update every 2 months, To every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
