Both are free to download. MyerList sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and FocusFour sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FocusFour holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of MyerList's written reviews are positive against 56% of FocusFour's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyerList ships an update every 3 weeks, FocusFour every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
