# Focus vs Candle

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Candle at none against Focus's 1. Candle also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Candle asks for nothing beyond the download.
