Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Focus Chart at none against ZoeLog's 6. Focus Chart also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.4). ZoeLog's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 16 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZoeLog sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Focus Chart asks for nothing beyond the download.
ZoeLog holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 35 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Focus Chart's written reviews are positive against 85% of ZoeLog's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Focus Chart ships an update every 16 months, ZoeLog weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
