# Focus Keeper vs Scroll Counts

The clearest difference is monetization model: Focus Keeper at free with in-app purchases against Scroll Counts's subscription. Focus Keeper also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 13) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Scroll Counts's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 69%). On price, update cadence, 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 Scroll Counts sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus Keeper holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Keeper has 32K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Focus Keeper's written reviews are positive against 100% of Scroll Counts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Focus Keeper ships an update every 4 days, Scroll Counts weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
