# FocusFour vs ScreenBreak

The clearest difference is ads: FocusFour at none against ScreenBreak's shown. ScreenBreak's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FocusFour sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ScreenBreak sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScreenBreak holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 21 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of FocusFour's written reviews are positive against 50% of ScreenBreak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FocusFour ships an update every 5 weeks, ScreenBreak every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
