# Friend Controls vs MyFocus

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Friend Controls at 647 against MyFocus's 6. On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Friend Controls sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and MyFocus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Friend Controls against 4.8 for MyFocus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Friend Controls has 647 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
