# Focus Factor vs Focus

The clearest difference is rating: Focus at 4.8 against Focus Factor's 4.1. Focus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (867 vs 39). Focus Factor's advantage is iOS requirement (12.3 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Factor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 per month and Focus sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus has 867 ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Focus Factor's written reviews are positive against 48% of Focus's.

Focus Factor ships an update every 2 weeks, Focus weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
