# Panorama vs Focus Italia

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Focus Italia at 56% against Panorama's 0%. Focus Italia also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Panorama's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Panorama sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and Focus Italia sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Panorama holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Panorama's written reviews are positive against 56% of Focus Italia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Panorama ships an update every 7 months, Focus Italia every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
