Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyPaymentsPlus at 2.9 against BPS Focus's 1.7. MyPaymentsPlus also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). BPS Focus's advantage is ratings volume (262 vs 18) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MyPaymentsPlus holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BPS Focus has 262 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of MyPaymentsPlus's written reviews are positive against 14% of BPS Focus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyPaymentsPlus ships an update every 2 months, BPS Focus every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
