# Monk Mode vs Focus

The clearest difference is rating: Monk Mode at 5.0 against Focus's 1.0. Monk Mode also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Monk Mode sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Focus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Monk Mode holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monk Mode has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
