Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Focus Quest at 4.7 against Focus App Blocker's 4.0. Focus Quest also leads on ratings volume (502 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Focus App Blocker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Quest sells 32 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Focus App Blocker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Focus Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Quest has 502 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Focus Quest ships an update every 2 months, Focus App Blocker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
