# Focus Traveller vs Focus Pet

The clearest difference is ads: Focus Traveller at none against Focus Pet's shown. Focus Traveller also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 3). Focus Pet's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% 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 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.
