# Focus Timer vs Dopace

The clearest difference is rating: Dopace at 5.0 against Focus Timer's 4.3. Dopace also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly) and device support (4 vs 1). Focus Timer's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Dopace sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dopace holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Timer has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Focus Timer ships an update fortnightly, Dopace daily. Both last shipped on October 4, 2026.
