# Focus Tree vs FocusTok

The clearest difference is ads: FocusTok at none against Focus Tree's shown. FocusTok also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (80% vs 68%). Focus Tree's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 9). 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 FocusTok sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FocusTok holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Tree has 5.7K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Focus Tree's written reviews are positive against 80% of FocusTok's.

Focus Tree ships an update every 2 weeks, FocusTok fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
