# Focusone vs App Blocker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Focusone at 100% against App Blocker's 50%. Focusone also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). App Blocker's advantage is ratings volume (75 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focusone sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and App Blocker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focusone holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App Blocker has 75 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Focusone's written reviews are positive against 50% of App Blocker's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
