# Rooster vs Pengu Focus

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pengu Focus at freemium against Rooster's subscription. Pengu Focus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Rooster's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rooster sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Pengu Focus sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pengu Focus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rooster has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
