# Focado vs Quizlock

The clearest difference is ads: Focado at none against Quizlock's shown. Focado also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 6) and review sentiment (60% vs 50%). Quizlock's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, 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 Quizlock sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Focado against 4.7 for Quizlock. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focado has 1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Focado's written reviews are positive against 50% of Quizlock's.

Focado ships an update every 3 weeks, Quizlock every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
