# Focus Tree vs THAT G1RL

The clearest difference is ads: THAT G1RL at none against Focus Tree's shown. THAT G1RL also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.1). Focus Tree's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Tree sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and THAT G1RL sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

THAT G1RL holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Tree has 5.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Focus Tree ships an update every 2 weeks, THAT G1RL every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
