Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. FocusFishing sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Linggen sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for FocusFishing against 5.0 for Linggen. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FocusFishing has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FocusFishing ships an update weekly, Linggen every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
