# Focus Traveller vs Sit Still

The clearest difference is rating: Focus Traveller at 4.9 against Sit Still's 4.0. Focus Traveller also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 1). Sit Still's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, ads, 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 Sit Still sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Traveller holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. 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. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Focus Traveller's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sit Still's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Focus Traveller ships an update every 2 months, Sit Still every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
