# Refocus vs Contract FinePrint

The clearest difference is ads: Contract FinePrint at none against Refocus's shown. Contract FinePrint also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Refocus's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Refocus sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Contract FinePrint sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Refocus has 12K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
