# Focus Traveller vs Focus Planet

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Focus Traveller at 3.9K against Focus Planet's 1. Focus Planet's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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 Planet sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 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 5.0 for Focus Planet. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Traveller has 3.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
