# Hypermonkey vs Focus One

The clearest difference is rating: Focus One at 5.0 against Hypermonkey's 4.5. Focus One also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and monetization model (free vs freemium). Hypermonkey's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hypermonkey sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Focus One sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus One holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hypermonkey has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Hypermonkey's written reviews are positive against 100% of Focus One's.

Hypermonkey ships an update every 2 weeks, Focus One every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
