# Focus To vs Pomodoro

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Focus To at 15K against Pomodoro's 6. Focus To also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Pomodoro's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). 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 Pomodoro sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 4.7 for Pomodoro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus To has 15K ratings behind it against 6, 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 100% of Pomodoro's.

Focus To ships an update every 5 weeks, Pomodoro every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
