Earn time Count steps, walking and running distance, Apple Health exercise minutes, or time spent in apps you pick. You choose which apps count. Add several earning conditions to a rule and adjust how many minutes each one earns. Choose your apps Pick the games, video apps, social media, and sites you want to limit. Set these separately from the apps you use to earn time. Home shows how much time is left and how close you are to earning more. Reset Choose a reset schedule. Unused time does not carry over.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FocusForFun at Free against Markdown Reader's $3.99. Markdown Reader's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
