Both are free to download. Routine Flow Focus Timer sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per year and Flowmo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Routine Flow Focus Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Routine Flow Focus Timer has 39 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Routine Flow Focus Timer's written reviews are positive against 75% of Flowmo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Routine Flow Focus Timer ships an update every 4 days, Flowmo weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
