# Mono Task vs Task Focus

The clearest difference is rating: Task Focus at 5.0 against Mono Task's 4.7. Task Focus also leads on device support (5 vs 3). Mono Task's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mono Task sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Task Focus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Task Focus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mono Task has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Mono Task's written reviews are positive against 86% of Task Focus's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
