# Focus Quest vs Mamoism

The clearest difference is ads: Mamoism at none against Focus Quest's shown. Mamoism also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Focus Quest's advantage is ratings volume (506 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Quest sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Mamoism sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mamoism holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Quest has 506 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Focus Quest ships an update every 2 months, Mamoism every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
