# Focus To vs Habit Tracker

The clearest difference is update cadence: Habit Tracker at every 6 days against Focus To's every 5 weeks. Habit Tracker also leads on ratings volume (145K vs 15K) and chart position (#131 vs unranked). Focus To's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 69%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus To sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Habit Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 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 To against 4.8 for Habit Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Habit Tracker has 145K ratings behind it against 15K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Focus To's written reviews are positive against 69% of Habit Tracker's.

Focus To ships an update every 5 weeks, Habit Tracker every 6 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
