# FocusPad vs GenR

The clearest difference is rating: GenR at 4.4 against FocusPad's 4.0. GenR also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1). FocusPad's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FocusPad sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GenR sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GenR holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GenR has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of FocusPad's written reviews are positive against 79% of GenR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FocusPad ships an update every 2 weeks, GenR every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
