# Focus Traveller vs Pomo

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Focus Traveller at 4K against Pomo's 4. Focus Traveller also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Pomo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks 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 Pomo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 5.0 for Pomo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Traveller has 4K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Focus Traveller ships an update every 2 months, Pomo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
