# Focus Traveller vs Pomocat

The clearest difference is ads: Focus Traveller at none against Pomocat's shown. Focus Traveller also leads on ratings volume (4.1K vs 535). Pomocat's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (94% vs 86%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Traveller sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Pomocat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 — 4.9 for Focus Traveller against 4.9 for Pomocat. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Traveller has 4.1K ratings behind it against 535, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Focus Traveller's written reviews are positive against 94% of Pomocat's.

Focus Traveller ships an update every 2 months, Pomocat every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
