# Focus Tree vs Focus Pot

The clearest difference is ads: Focus Pot at none against Focus Tree's shown. Focus Pot also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Focus Tree's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Tree sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Focus Pot sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Pot 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. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Focus Tree's written reviews are positive against 100% of Focus Pot's.

Focus Tree ships an update every 2 weeks, Focus Pot every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
