# Focado vs Cora

The clearest difference is rating: Focado at 4.8 against Cora's 1.0. Focado also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Cora's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focado sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Cora sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focado holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focado has 1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Focado's written reviews are positive against 82% of Cora's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Focado ships an update every 3 weeks, Cora every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
