# Habit Rabbit vs Focus Pet

The clearest difference is update cadence: Focus Pet at every 3 days against Habit Rabbit's every 5 weeks. Focus Pet also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Habit Rabbit's advantage is ratings volume (8.6K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Habit Rabbit sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Focus Pet sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Pet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit Rabbit has 8.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Habit Rabbit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Focus Pet's.

Habit Rabbit ships an update every 5 weeks, Focus Pet every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
