# CheckMate vs FocusQuest

CheckMate and FocusQuest are too close to call on the numbers: across 7 compared parameters — price, rating, ratings volume and ads among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. CheckMate sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and FocusQuest sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
