# focusedOS vs TimeLeft

The clearest difference is rating: TimeLeft at 5.0 against focusedOS's 4.4. TimeLeft also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). focusedOS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (32 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. focusedOS sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and TimeLeft sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeLeft holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: focusedOS has 32 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of focusedOS's written reviews are positive against 100% of TimeLeft's.

focusedOS ships an update every 2 days, TimeLeft weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
