# FocusDown vs FocusDown

The clearest difference is monetization model: FocusDown at freemium against FocusDown's subscription. FocusDown also leads on ratings volume (70 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). FocusDown's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FocusDown sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and FocusDown sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FocusDown holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FocusDown has 70 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of FocusDown's written reviews are positive against 100% of FocusDown's.

FocusDown ships an update every 3 weeks, FocusDown every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
