# DoMemo vs Focus3

The clearest difference is rating: Focus3 at 5.0 against DoMemo's 4.5. DoMemo's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DoMemo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Focus3 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus3 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of DoMemo's written reviews are positive against 76% of Focus3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DoMemo ships an update every 3 weeks, Focus3 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on July 23, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
