# Focus Keeper vs Timefall

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Timefall at 100% against Focus Keeper's 69%. Timefall also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Focus Keeper's advantage is ratings volume (32K vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus Keeper sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Timefall sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timefall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus Keeper has 32K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Focus Keeper's written reviews are positive against 100% of Timefall's.

Focus Keeper ships an update every 4 days, Timefall every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
