# Focus Keeper vs Milki

Focus Keeper and Milki both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 97% of Milki's written reviews are positive against 68% of Focus Keeper's. Focus Keeper's advantage is ratings volume (32K vs 106) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Keeper sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Milki sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per year. 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 Focus Keeper against 4.9 for Milki. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Keeper has 32K ratings behind it against 106, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Focus Keeper's written reviews are positive against 97% of Milki's.

Focus Keeper ships an update every 4 days, Milki every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
