# FocusTime vs Ember

The clearest difference is ads: Ember at none against FocusTime's shown. FocusTime's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FocusTime sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Ember sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
