# iHour vs Focus To

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Focus To at 15K against iHour's 810. iHour's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iHour sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Focus To sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for iHour against 4.8 for Focus To. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus To has 15K ratings behind it against 810, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of iHour's written reviews are positive against 80% of Focus To's.

iHour ships an update monthly, Focus To every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
