# Thiro vs PeaceFocus

The clearest difference is ads: Thiro at none against PeaceFocus's shown. Thiro also leads on ratings volume (49 vs 2) and device support (5 vs 3). PeaceFocus's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thiro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PeaceFocus sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PeaceFocus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thiro has 49 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Thiro's written reviews are positive against 100% of PeaceFocus's.

Thiro ships an update every 5 weeks, PeaceFocus every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on August 28, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
