# FocusBeats vs Lofi Bear

The clearest difference is rating: FocusBeats at 5.0 against Lofi Bear's 4.5. FocusBeats also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Lofi Bear's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.2 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FocusBeats sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Lofi Bear sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lofi Bear has 49 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
