# Focus Keeper vs Tiny Timer

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Focus Keeper at 32K against Tiny Timer's 22. Focus Keeper also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, 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 Tiny Timer sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Keeper holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Keeper has 32K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Focus Keeper's written reviews are positive against 63% of Tiny Timer's.

Focus Keeper ships an update every 4 days, Tiny Timer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
