# Focus Clock vs Meow Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Meow Clock at 4.7 against Focus Clock's 4.1. Meow Clock also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (130 vs 16). Focus Clock's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months. Meow Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.

Meow Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meow Clock has 130 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Focus Clock's written reviews are positive against 82% of Meow Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Focus Clock ships an update fortnightly, Meow Clock every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
