# C vs Focus Clock

The clearest difference is price: Focus Clock at Free against C's $9.99. Focus Clock also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and device support (4 vs 1). C's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Focus Clock is free to download; C costs $9.99 up front. Focus Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months. C asks for nothing beyond the download.

C holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 39 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of C's written reviews are positive against 83% of Focus Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

C ships an update every 5 weeks, Focus Clock fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
