# FocusDown vs Brain Rescue

The clearest difference is ads: Brain Rescue at none against FocusDown's shown. Brain Rescue also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). FocusDown's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FocusDown sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Brain Rescue sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brain Rescue 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.
