# ChickFocus vs Focus Pet

The clearest difference is ads: ChickFocus at none against Focus Pet's shown. ChickFocus also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 3) and device support (4 vs 1). Focus Pet's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChickFocus sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Focus Pet sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Pet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChickFocus has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of ChickFocus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Focus Pet's.

ChickFocus ships an update every 9 days, Focus Pet every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
