Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nightlock at none against FocusFlow's shown. Nightlock also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). FocusFlow's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
