Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Focus Keeper at Free against Pom's $3.99. Focus Keeper also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Pom's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and review sentiment (80% vs 68%). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Focus Keeper holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Keeper has 32K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Focus Keeper's written reviews are positive against 80% of Pom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Focus Keeper ships an update every 4 days, Pom every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
