# Focus Space vs Pomodoro

Focus Space and Pomodoro both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Pomodoro's written reviews are positive against 56% of Focus Space's. Pomodoro also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). Focus Space's advantage is ratings volume (57 vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Space sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Pomodoro sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Focus Space against 4.7 for Pomodoro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Space has 57 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of Focus Space's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pomodoro's.

Focus Space ships an update every 2 months, Pomodoro every 8 days. Both last shipped on August 12, 2026.
