# Pagee vs Total Focus

The clearest difference is rating: Total Focus at 5.0 against Pagee's 4.5. Pagee's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pagee sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Total Focus sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Total Focus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pagee has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Pagee ships an update every 10 days, Total Focus fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
