# uFocus vs Editor

The clearest difference is rating: uFocus at 4.7 against Editor's 3.7. uFocus also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (35 vs 3). Editor's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

uFocus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: uFocus has 35 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

uFocus ships an update monthly, Editor every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and July 23, 2026 respectively.
