# Focus To vs Focus Timer

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Focus To at 15K against Focus Timer's 5. Focus To also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and device support (4 vs 2). Focus Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, 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 Focus Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus To holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus To has 15K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Focus To ships an update every 5 weeks, Focus Timer every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
