# Focus To vs TimeLog

The clearest difference is ads: Focus To at none against TimeLog's shown. Focus To also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). TimeLog's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (89% vs 80%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus To sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and TimeLog sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeLog holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus To has 15K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Focus To's written reviews are positive against 89% of TimeLog's.

Focus To ships an update every 5 weeks, TimeLog every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
