# Bleep vs Focus Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Bleep at 4.6 against Focus Timer's 4.3. Bleep also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Focus Timer's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 71%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bleep sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Focus Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bleep holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 17 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Bleep's written reviews are positive against 80% of Focus Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bleep ships an update every 2 weeks, Focus Timer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
