# Anytype vs Focusin Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Focusin Pro at 5.0 against Anytype's 4.5. Anytype's advantage is ratings volume (245 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anytype sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Focusin Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focusin Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anytype has 245 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
