Your screen time is a race, and right now you might be losing it. FocusRace turns cutting down your phone use into a friendly competition with the people you actually know. Set a daily screen-time budget, then race your friends to stay under it. The lowest screen time wins the day. HOW IT WORKS • Set your daily budget, your line in the sand. • FocusRace measures your screen time privately on your iPhone with Apple's Screen Time. • Race your friends and your crew every day, and grow your streak. • Get notified when the race changes, and a wrap-up of how the day went. • Weekly and monthly winners, achievements and home-screen widgets. RACE YOUR CREW • Add friends with a simple invite code. • A live leaderboard shows who is winning today. • Competition that actually makes you put the phone down, because someone is watching. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU • Screen time is measured on your device. Friends see your daily total, not which apps you used. • No advertising. We do not sell your personal information or share it with third parties for advertising. • Delete your account and your data at any time, right in the app. PREMIUM IS A PAID UPGRADE (OPTIONAL) FocusRace is free to download, and the daily race, friends, streaks, notifications and widgets stay free. The features below are NOT included in the free app and require a separate purchase: • Full history: month, quarter and year, and every race you have run. • Deeper stats: your danger hour and your long-term trends. • A direct line to the developer through in-app Support. Premium is sold as an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly) or as a one-time lifetime purchase. The price of each is shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings. The lifetime purchase is charged once. Terms of Use: https://focusrace-7b1d2.web.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://focusrace-7b1d2.web.app/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CellGate Mobile Connect at none against FocusRace's 3. CellGate Mobile Connect also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). FocusRace's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
